Longing Town Lyrics - Duncan Sheik

Oh, so cold 

Evening gray consumed in dark 

No more day to hold me 

Sounds won't stay to play their part 

Only what strangers told me 

Why is the ghost who listens so cold and alone? 

Wind, tell her lightly 

All that we might be 

While I sit nightly 

Watching the shadows and drifting down 

Twilight descends so blue, so brown 

And longing begins in this longing town 

When the haze falls through my heart 

When its arms enfold me 

Oh, my song won't go that far 

I can't sing how lonely 

Home is a note of distance, a word for gone 

Wind, tell her lightly 

All that we might be 

While I sit nightly 

Watching the shadows and drifting down 

Twilight descends so blue, so brown 

And longing begins in this longing town 

Oh, so cold, no one home 

All of the notes, a word for gone
