I’m afraid of you
You make life seem brand new
We stay up late at night
Forget the world outside

And it’s been a long time
It’s been a long time
Since I’ve seen the morning light
It’s been a long time
It’s been a long time
And that’s alright (2x)

You read you poetry
And pour me cups of tea
And in the candle light
I’m lost inside your eyes

And it’s been a long time…

Sometimes I feel all alone
With millions of folks around me
But I know that I’ve got a home
Beyond the dark clouds above me
