oh the reason the night is long
is very simple
oh i miss you when i'm at work
oh and i miss you when we fight, and you leave
honey, i confess, i stole your heart
and honey, i confess that it was criminal
but i've been captured, i'm paralyzed
and i've been disarmed by your charm

oh the reason the night is long is very simple
i imagine, tonight, that we can get along
that nothing i can do with you is wrong, tonight

but if i'm careful at sunset, if i'm mindful at dawn,
(clouded minds up north could
sometimes produce rain and lightning )
if it's ok to touch you,
it's alright to think "electricity"

oh the reason the night is long is very simple
maybe it hasn't been so long
maybe this dim time is just twilight
