about

Inspired by an on-again, off-again relationship that always seemed to be "on" during the longest night of the year, The Longest Night is a heartbreaker of a tune for when you love them but you're leaving them anyway because you know you need to do what's right for you.

lyrics

Oh darling
Oh my love
You keep comin round when you know I’ve got nothing to give

I’ve been trying
I’ve been crying
Seems life without you is the only way to live

You can’t stand in front of me with that look on your face
Like you don’t understand what’s just taken place
After everything you’ve done to you and me

Oh darling
Oh my love
You like having a good woman more than you like tryin’ to be a good man

I’ve been trying
I’ve been driving
Last time I drove these streets holding your hand

Now the time has come to pass the time
Recovering from learning you are not mine
And the cold creeps in as if to remind
Me the universe is always on time
Please let me pass so I don’t break my stride
I’ll keep this quiet so I don’t hurt your pride
You can have your memories of the longest night
I spent by your side

You can’t stand in front of me with that look on your face
Like you don’t understand what’s just taken place
After everything you’ve done to you and me
And you think love’s enough to walk back through my door
But it’s been stretched so thin it can’t take anymore
After everything you’ve done to you and me

Oh darling
Oh my love
Oh my love
