A Long Winter's Night
I was the one who was late
You never did speak a word
But you were the one who said wait
And I don't think I ever learned
There's something you say when it's right
And something you sing when it's true
It's a long winter's night, the stars are alight
And I sit here thinking of you
You take all these notions of comfort
You take all these feelings of pride
You take all the things that you hid from
And keep them all deep down inside
Well, I've been here waiting for ages
For a love that wanted me, too
It's a long winter's night, the stars are alight
And I'm still here thinking of you
You take all these things as they come
You watch everyone as they go
And everyone thinks it's the same
And everyone feels like they know
But there's a time to be thankful
For all the time that we knew
On a long winter's night, the stars are alight
And I'm still here thinking of you
The nights they get longer this time of the year
I'm feeling a pull from within
And I can't explain anymore than to say
I wish you were with me again
And you might say all that you hope for
And it might just be who I am
And you could bring tidings of great peace and joy
And we could go through it again
So hold a candle to the darkness
And let some love be your light
And wait for the word you might not have heard
On this long winter's night
On a long winter's night, the stars are alight
And I'm still here thinking of you
You never did speak a word
But you were the one who said wait
And I don't think I ever learned
There's something you say when it's right
And something you sing when it's true
It's a long winter's night, the stars are alight
And I sit here thinking of you
You take all these notions of comfort
You take all these feelings of pride
You take all the things that you hid from
And keep them all deep down inside
Well, I've been here waiting for ages
For a love that wanted me, too
It's a long winter's night, the stars are alight
And I'm still here thinking of you
You take all these things as they come
You watch everyone as they go
And everyone thinks it's the same
And everyone feels like they know
But there's a time to be thankful
For all the time that we knew
On a long winter's night, the stars are alight
And I'm still here thinking of you
The nights they get longer this time of the year
I'm feeling a pull from within
And I can't explain anymore than to say
I wish you were with me again
And you might say all that you hope for
And it might just be who I am
And you could bring tidings of great peace and joy
And we could go through it again
So hold a candle to the darkness
And let some love be your light
And wait for the word you might not have heard
On this long winter's night
On a long winter's night, the stars are alight
And I'm still here thinking of you
