Nights Are Lonely

(albüm: Farewell To Paradise - 1973)

Nights are lonely, nights are lonely
Lonely and long

Dreaming at night, feel your body falling
Before you reach the bottom you wake
Ready to run at the sign of any danger
Blankets always in your way

Nights are lonely, nights are lonely
Lonely and long

Don't close your eyes if the night's got you frightened
It's always darkest just prior to day
Lock all your doors then check all your closets
Make sure that no one is hidden away

Nights are lonely, nights are lonely
Lonely and long

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Well if I should die before I wake
Tell the Lord he's made a big mistake

Don't be afraid if the darkness tends to scare you
With the light on you need not fear
Don't be ashamed if at bedtime you're lonely
And you sleep with your teddy bear

Nights are lonely, nights are lonely
Lonely and long
