Another Long One - Shawn Colvin

If losing sleep were any indication

Of the loving that I’ve 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 it’s gonna be another long one tonight

It’s just me and my well-intentioned spite

I said someone did this to me

But no one did, there’s no injustices

I just can’t afford to be right no more

I bought myself another bad dream tonight

With these little boys in my head sleeping tight

It’s 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

That’s all the better when it’s 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 it’s gonna be another long one tonight

It’s just me and my well-intentioned spite

I said someone did this to me

But no one did, there’s no injustices

I just can’t afford to be right no more

I bought myself another bad dream tonight

With these little boys in my head sleeping tight

It’s gonna be another long one tonight
