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
