Long Night

[David Dalton]

Since the solstice is at 6:32 a.m. NST (2:02 a.m. PST) Dec. 21,
tonight (Sunday night) is the longest night, at least in North
America.

Long night
So this is what it all comes to
Long night
This is what we all go through
Long night
Another friend is gone
Long night

Death is a mighty uniter
The defeat that comes to every fighter
Live on! The dawn will be brighter
Live on! Live on! Live on!

Long night
Let me be with you
Long night
I feel you need it too
Long night
Rollin' in each other's arms
Long night
Keep each other safe from harm

Love is a mighty uniter
The night can only make it tighter
Love on! The dawn will be brighter
Love on! Love on! Love on!

Long night
So this is what it all comes to
Long night
This is what we all go through
Long night
Another friend is gone
Long night
Leaving' us to carry on

Death is a mighty uniter
The defeat that comes to every fighter.
Live on! The dawn will be brighter
Live on! Live on! Live on!
Live on! Live on! Live on!
Live on! Live on! Live on!
Long night
