The long night has come again,
A ticking clock,
Following the hands to chase a dream,
Far across an ocean, how can I see?

With Lost memories found,
With empty hands never meeting,
With an empty heart,
Lost my way, somehow,

Thoughts of flying through times past,
Thoughts of being forgotten,
Thoughts of never seeing or touching you again,
Thoughts of being with you forever, racing through my mind,

Can't sleep,

I'm a fool trying to look for you,
I will never see you,

A long time now,
Saying your name every day,
Thinking of ways we can come together,

Even for only one night of passion,
To say those words, "I love you."
And to hear those words, those words, "I love you too."
