"Long Nights" — the blues man in the extended darkness of bad times.
Yes the nights are so long, baby, and the days are so blue
Seems like everything has gone wrong
Baby 'cause i'm without you
I guess this is that awful feeling
Baby that feeling they call the blues
All by myself baby, yes i began to weep
Yes, and when i dry my eyes, baby
You know i still can't sleep
Yes, i guess this is the feeling
Baby the feeling they call the blues
Yes as i sit here in my dark room, woman
With the tears running down my face
Yes as i sit here in my dark room, woman
With the tears running down my face
Yes i can feel and i can see you, woman
I can see you all over the place
Yes, then i start walkin', woman
Start walkin' all over the floor
Yes, my heart is telling me, woman
Tellin' me you won't be here no more
Oh, i guess this is the feeling
Baby the feeling, the feeling they call the blues
