The cold hands
The sad eyes
The dark Irish silence

It's so late
But I'll wait
Through the long night with you

With you

The warm tears

The bad dreams
The soft trembling shoulders
The old fears

But I'm here
Through the long night with you
With you


Oh, what has it cost you
I almost lost you

A long, long time ago
Oh, you should have told me
But you had to bleed to know


All your past sins
Are since past

You should be sleeping
It's all right
Sleep tight

Through the long night with me
With me


No, I didn't start it
You're broken hearted
From a long, long time ago

Oh, the way you hold me
Is all that I need to know


And it's so late
But I'll wait
Through the long night with you

With you
