Somewhere In The Longing
A man will long for many things
before he meets his end.
Like longing for somebody
a lover or a friend.
Places that he's never seen
that he may never go.
But somewhere in that longing
so much that he don't know.
Cause deep inside that longing
when things aren't going right.
Living in the longing
there always comes the night.
When his spirit has grown quiet
and his heart is restless still.
The cool night air against his skin
gives his soul a chill.
Doubts and fears will follow
he's unsure what to do.
The only dreams that he can reach
are the ones that don't come true.
The longing like an unknown road
should he turn left or right.
Beware of the longing
where lives the dark of night.
