| Lyrics: | (A.Wilder, L.McGlohon)
[Recorded July 20, 1981, New York]
Long night, it's a long
night, my friend
The barrooms and the back street's dead end
Sometimes I thought I saw the
sunrise and good times in the air
It was just, it was just another big town with midnight's neon
glare
Long night, it's a long night, I know
The bus rides and the "nowhere to
go"
I've seen what the street corners do to things like love and dreams
Seen what the
bottle can do to a man with his hopes and his schemes
A long night, what a long night it
has been
The wheelers and the dealers, they win
I've tasted the 90-proof gin and chased it
away with the blues
I rarely paid debts that I owed but I sure have paid my dues
No
daylight, just a long night for me |
