The Long and Lonely Night

You gotta make peace within yourself
To survive the long and lonely night.
And you gotta be content to be yourself
To survive the long and lonely night.

When it's cold and dark and rainy
There ain't no guarantees that you'll
Survive the long and lonely night.

You gotta rid your mind of thoughts of death
To survive the long and lonely night.
And you gotta slow down your precious breath
To survive the long and lonely night.

When it's cold and dark and rainy
There ain't no guarantees that you'll
Survive the long and lonely night.

You gotta find the rat's nest in your mind
To survive the long and lonely night.
And you gotta close your eyes or you'll go blind
To survive the long and lonely night.

When it's cold and dark and rainy
There ain't no guarantees that you'll
Survive the long and lonely night.

Fight the darkness fight the pain.
Fight the darkness fight the pain.
Fight the darkness fight the pain.
Fight the darkness fight the pain.

To survive
The long and lonely
Night.

One of my earlier works, from when I knew less than ten chords and couldn't play a bar, this song is still one of my favourites for it's lyrics and simplicity. Fighting depression, loneliness and the winter blues, I often found solice in the companionship of my guitar. Hear this song on mp3.com
