Long Black Night Songtext

von Dave Sharp

Take the gold
Take the coal
Take the heat
But leave the money and run

Take the wrong way out
And the rain is sure to come
And when the leaves are broke
And the high tides rolling in
Well it's sure coming down to a case of
Sink or swim

In the long black night
'Till the sunrise
When it's too black and dark
To see the way
In the long black night
Between now and the morning light
Oh lay you down
'Till the breaking
Of the day

Oh lay you down

Don't be losing no sleep
Trying to figure it one more time
When the black dog's lying down it's the end of the line
Well if the tiddle of the shock on a bloodstained Downtown Street
As we loaded gay going down and everybody gets beat

In the long black night
'Till the sunrise
When it's too black and dark
To see the way
In the long black night
Between now and the morning light
Oh lay you down
'Till the breaking
Of the day

Oh lay you down

Down be digging them bones by the light of the
Qually moon
It's a total waste of time it's a digging a grave too soon
And away it's too late
Over the great divide
For the finding of peace in the lonesome
Valley tonight

In the long black night
'Till the sunrise
When it's too black and dark
To see the way
In the long black night
Between now and the morning light
Oh lay you down
'Till the breaking
Of the day
Oh lay you down
'Till the breaking
Of the day
Oh lay you down
'Till the breaking
Of the day
