Another Long One Lyrics

Shawn Colvin

S. colvin
If losing sleep were any indication
Of the loving that Ive missed
I would wrap myself around you
But how likely can that be when I feel like this
And if life were not unfortunate
And reason blew like summer through the trees
I would stop to let you catch me
But I think that you would find me on my knees
And its gonna be another long one tonight
Its just me and my well-intentioned spite
I said someone did this to me
But no one did, theres no injustices
I just cant afford to be right no more
I bought myself another bad dream tonight
With these little boys in my head sleeping tight
Its gonna be another long one tonight
There is comfort in a memory
And in roses just before you cut them down
There is danger in most everything
Thats all the better when its not around
And the last time I had the sense to notice
You were right here being kind
But if I think that you are with me
Then I know that you can always change your mind
And its gonna be another long one tonight
Its just me and my well-intentioned spite
I said someone did this to me
But no one did, theres no injustices
I just cant afford to be right no more
I bought myself another bad dream tonight
With these little boys in my head sleeping tight
Its gonna be another long one tonight
