Long Nights

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

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
