Longing Town lyrics - Duncan Sheik

Oh, so cold

Evening gray consumed in dark

No more day to hold me

Sounds won't stay to play their part

Only what strangers told me

Why is the ghost who listens so cold and alone?

Wind, tell her lightly

All that we might be

While I sit nightly

Watching the shadows and drifting down

Twilight descends so blue, so brown

And longing begins in this longing town

When the haze falls through my heart

When its arms enfold me

Oh, my song won't go that far

I can't sing how lonely

Home is a note of distance, a word for gone

Wind, tell her lightly

All that we might be

While I sit nightly

Watching the shadows and drifting down

Twilight descends so blue, so brown

And longing begins in this longing town

Oh, so cold, no one home

All of the notes, a word for gone
