the long days night

pray me not to die
i can't stop this feeling
won't somebody tell me?
before i fade to grey

go ahead and watch me cry
but don't dry my tears now
'cause maybe they heal me
as they run down my face

(chorus)
and the long days night goes on too long
where the darkness hides it's bitter face
the pain goes on and on and on
and i'm feeling somehow out of place
the time keeps passing by unseen
the clock is but a shadow there
if you still don't know just what i mean
can you mean the words you say you swear?

it's time to walk away
but what is the meaning?
no i really can't hear you
what did you say?

so do you know me now?
more than you wanted
seems i'm lost in a feeling
and i can't find my way

(repeat chorus)

after the fall

i've been listening
to the music
that we danced to
way back then
i've been searchin'
for some answers
what went wrong?
where you been?

(chorus)
i need to find some consolation
i need to understand it all
all i have for my recollection
is the music
before the fall

i've been tryin'
to find a memory
but i haven't
found it yet
i was happy
i was crazy
until the season
of regret

(chorus)
i need to find some consolation
i need to understand it all
all i have for my recollection
is the music
before the fall

(Bridge)
blue nights
lead into blue days
winter lasted
on and on
all i have now
is a cryin' empty feeling
and the music
before the fall

(repeat chorus)
