Long Night of Dreams

I never did give up on love
Though she’s run out on me
I truly did deserve it
All those things I said were mean.

At times I was the loving saint
At times I was the beast.
I never felt so lonely
As when her tears fell on my sleeve.

Chorus
It’s a long night of dreams away
It’s a long night of dreams away

I remember stumbling upon her
With the sunlight in her eyes
Her mouth as true as waters
Tumbling in the ocean tide
I wondered where she had come from
Another time perhaps
She fed me grapes and lines of verse
I smiled upon her lap.

Chorus
It’s a long night of dreams away
It’s a long night of dreams away
