World's Longest Night
by Rick Altizer

Album: All Tie Zur

World's longest night.

3am for the hundred-millionth time,
It's the same sad dance across the same old line,
Then your tears, like fists, hit me right between the eyes,
Punch-drunk and surprised, I'm seeing stars.

Now I'm waiting for a miracle to come, (miracle, a miracle)
Is it too late to do what's left undone?

On the world's longest night,
You walk the floor, you fall apart when it's the world's longest night,
It's the wicked dream that never goes away, (waiting for the day)
And I'm waiting for the day.

World's longest night.

What made you say this thing you never said before?
A scream you kept behind a secret door,
When you let it out shadows swallowed up the room,
And both of us are howling at the moon.

And we're waiting for a miracle to come, (miracle, a miracle)
Is it too late to stop what we've begun?

On the world's longest night,
You walk the floor, you fall apart when it's the world's longest night,
It's the wicked dream that never goes away, (waiting for the day)
And I'm waiting for the day…

When this darkness is a memory,
But for now we're stuck with you and me.

On the world's longest night,
World's longest night.

On the world's longest night,
You walk the floor, you fall apart when it's the world's longest night,
You guard the door, you guard your heart, when it's the world's longest night,
You walk the floor, you fall apart when it's the world's longest night,
It's the wicked dream that never goes away, (waiting for the day)
And I'm waiting for the day.
