Duncan Sheik Longing Town Lyrics

Longing Town Lyrics

Oh so cold

Evening grey 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 so alone

Wind, tell her lightly

All that we might be

While I sit, nightly

Watching the shadows 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

O, 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 drifting down

Twilight descends so blue, so brown

And longing begins in this longing town

O, so cold

No one home

All of the notes, a word for gone
