Another Long One
S. 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

   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
