Long Nights
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
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
