about

“Long Lonely Night” captures the emotional state during the first night of a very bad and permanent break-up.

lyrics

Long Lonely Night c. 2014 Sidney S. Whelan

An empty bed,
Cracks in the wall.
Voices in my head
Playin` our last phone call,
It`s gonna be a long,
Long, Long lonely night.

I tried to forget her
Thought I'd be alright
But then I thought I mighta seen her.
By the pale moon light
So it's gonna be a long.
Long, long lonely night.

I hear footsteps on the staircase
So I open the door.
It’s just a man with a suitcase
Climbin’ up one more floor.
It`s gonna be a long,
Long, Long lonely night.

The blues ain`t no kind of friend
I didn`t never wanna see her again
But she jumps up and grabs you
Wraps her arms around you
How do you
Make her let go ?

I hear footsteps on the ceiling,
They havin' a ball upstairs.
I'm watchin' paint peelin'
Run a hand thru my hair.
It's gonna be a long,
Long, long lonely night.
