Longest Days

(album: Shock Of Daylight - 1984)

These are the longest days I've ever known
Groan out of my bed, look at my watch, way too soon
Too much daylight leads to a night life and the fear
Of another day that's going to last four or five years
Not for often

Now I know how it all shakes
Do you feel that way too?
Now I know how it all breaks
Are you feeling that way too?

Saw sorrow in your eyes and wanted in
Saw your whole world turning around
And the mess we got ourselves in
It's taken that time, well, tell it it's taken it's toll on me
Still I know the hand of love isn't just the hand of mercy
Yes, I know that

Now I know how it all shakes
Do you feel that way too?
Now I know how it all breaks
Are you feeling that way too?

There's a gap you can't ignore when your heart's so far away
The aching and the stretching out on the rack of another day
Well, hope was the worst thing I could get from anyone
So take these days away and bring me the shortest ones

Now I know how it all shakes
Do you feel that way too?
Now I know how it all breaks
Are you feeling that too?
Now I know how it all shakes
Do you feel that way too?
Now I know how it all breaks
Do you?
