There's no holding you back
When you're leaving 
I'll have to face it alone until tomorrow
But as your fading away I know
It's a matter of hours till the tears begin
Guess I'll turn out the lights 
And I'll settle in 

(Chorus:)
For the long one 
For the restless night 
As your memory plays with no end in sight
It's a strong one and it holds on tight 
Laying in the darkness
Praying for the morning and sun
It's the long one

I've been through this before 
It wasn't easy
I think I'm ready this time 
I think I'm ready
I'll lay down on this bed and then 
I'll imagine your touch 
And I'll see your face 
Then the shadows will come 
And surround this place

(Chorus)

These days go by so fast
I just turn around and they're gone
And when the nighttime comes 
It's long and lonely holding on and on

(Chorus)

It's the long one
