Another Long One Lyrics - Steady On - 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" 

And 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" 

Well 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, it's gonna be another long one 

It's gonna be another long one tonight"
