Last Long Winter's Night

from Clocks by Christopher Elam

/

lyrics

on the last long winter's night we had to stop pretending
but i get so tired of trying through failures unending
now i know it's something more
cause i've seen that ship sink before
i always used to raise the sails again

if i ever see the day when the actions stop molding
and i've dropped everything i've carried just to keep holding
well i know i won't be sore
cause there's no day that i can't ignore

i've been far too long
by the banks of the water
with a song about a nurse's daughter
now she's gone
and i never felt the wiser for what's been done
but the weight lifts like the breezes in the sun
i'm killing time until it comes again

i've been far too long
by the banks of the water
with a song about the most beautiful daughter
and now she's gone
and i never felt the wiser for what's been done
and the weight will not be lighter in a song
about a nurse's daughter and now she's gone
and i never felt the wiser for what's been done
but the weight lifts like the breezes in the sun
I'm killing time until it comes again
