Long Black Night Songtext
von Dave Sharp

Take the cold, take the cold, take
The heat but leave the money and run
Take the wrong way out and the rain is sure to come
And when the levees are broke and the hard times rollin′ in
Well, it's sure comin′ down to a case of sink or swim

In the long black night 'til the sun rise
When it's too black and dark to see the way
In the long black night between now and the morning light
Ah, lay down ′til the breakin′ of the day
Ah, lay down
Don't be losing no sleep tryin′ to figure it one more time
When the black dog's lying down, it′s the end of the line
But at the tail of the shark on a bloodstained downtown street
There's a loaded game going down and everybody gets beat


In the long black night ′til the sun rise
When it's too black and dark to see the way
In the long black night between now and the morning light
Ah, lay down 'til the breakin′ of the day
Come on baby
Ah, don′t be diggin' them bones by the light of the quarter moon
It′s a total waste of time, it's a-diggin′ a grave too soon
And when it's too late over the great divide
Ah, to find any peace in the lonesome valley tonight

In the long black night ′til the sun rise
When it's too black and dark to see the way
In the long black night between now and the morning light
Ah, lay down 'til the breakin′ of the day
Ah, lay down ′til the breakin' of the day
Ah, lay down ′til the breakin' of the day
