There's no holding you back
When you're leaving
I'll have to face it alone until tomorrow
But as your fading away I know
It's a matter of hours till the tears begin
Guess I'll turn out the lights
And I'll settle in
Chorus
For the long one
For the restless night
As your memory plays with no end in sight
It's a strong one and it holds on tight
Laying in the darkness
Praying for the morning and sun
It's the long one
I've been through this before
It wasn't easy
I think I'm ready this time
I think I'm ready
I'll lay down on this bed and then
I'll imagine your touch
And I'll see your face
Then the shadows will come
And surround this place
Chorus
These days go by so fast
I just turn around and they're gone
And when the nighttime comes
It's long and lonely holding on and on
Chorus
It's the long one
