The Longest Day

Stuart Adamson


I’ve had enough, give me the strength to carry on
Bring me my dove, be my shelter from the storm
Oh let me be, let me keep my life my own
Just let me see a way for me to be alone
I need a friend, I need a place where I can hide
I’m lost again, I need a spell to turn the tide
But like the dog that howls in the night
You fill my broken heart with fright
When I touch you the whole world sighs
When you touch me the whole world cries
The longest day will be forever and a lifetime
The longest day will try your love like none before
But I must stand and I must fight for what is wrong is now my right
The longest day will fill my life for evermore
Will I lie, will I face the fire in you
Or will I fly, will I find out what is true
I will be there, I will be waiting there for you
And who will care when we have done what we must do
But like the dog that howls in the night
You fill my broken heart with fright
When I touch you the whole world sighs
When you touch me the whole world cries
The longest day will be forever and a lifetime
The longest day will try your love like none before
But I must stand and I must fight for what is wrong is now my right
The longest day will fill my life for evermore
I could use some love
I could use some kissing
I could use some gloves
Or maybe just some lessons
I’ve had enough, give me the strength to carry on
Bring me my dove, be my shelter from the storm
I will be there, I will be waiting there for you
And who will care when we have done what we must do
The longest day will be forever and a lifetime
The longest day will try your love like none before
But I must stand and I must fight for what is wrong is now my right
The longest day will fill my life for evermore
