It's Been a Long Night

The light flickers two blocks down Broadway Street
It casts a dreary scene on this lonely diner seat
Each flash shows my reflection in the glass
It's been a long long night

The waitress sighs deeply and with sleepy eyes
She says Son your coffee's getting cold, and it's half past nine
There's a bed calling my name, and I'm sure you've got the same
It's been a long long night
It's been a long long night

Outside the wind is colder and it grips me by the ears
Although my steps are bolder they've grown slower with the years
Some folks can make a living with a guitar around here
But my two-step's slow and so's my dosey-doe
I'm losing my touch I fear

Home is just a memory that still lingers in my mind
Back there with old photographs and still frames left behind
I set out with a purpose and I've changed it nine times
It's been a long long night
It's been a long long night
