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
