All Night Long Lyrics - The Compleat Tom Paxton - Tom Paxton

All night long, 

Dreaming badly, 

Feeling something's wrong. 

Faces crying 

As they fade away, 

Who can say where they were going. 

Where's their song 

Did they leave it in 

Their hearts too long. 

Were they waiting for 

A sunny day. 

Who can say who's wind is blowing. 

I can't wake the wind to blow my way. 

Let them shake the world 

I know, I know in my way, 

I know that songs that died unsung 

Know their way too. 

Most songs do. 

Most songs do. 

All night long 

Someone's trying, 

To believe that he is strong. 

Will he make it 

By the fade of the day. 

Who can say who's power is growing. 

I can't wake the wind to blow my way. 

Let them shake the world 

I know, I know in my way, 

I know that songs that died unsung 

Know their way too. 

Most songs do. 

Most songs do. 

All night long, 

Dreaming badly, 

Feeling something's wrong. 

Faces crying 

As they fade away, 

Who can say where they were going. 

With this song 

Did they leave it in 

Their hearts too long. 

Were they waiting for 

A sunny day. 

Who can say who's wind is blowing. 

I can't wake the wind to blow my way. 

Let them shake the world 

I know, I know in my way, 

I know that songs that died unsung 

Know their way too. 

Most songs do. 

Most songs do.
