Regrets, night sweats
Occasional thoughts of suicide
Green light, I'm ok
Feeling fine, just a little tongue tied
Old habbits die hard and I've lived so fast
And I know its a long way down

tempting me
Tempting you
Tempting us in all that we do
Can't make a move
Show me a sign
What's your will
Its a...

long long way
Between sin and sacrifice
Long long way
Between sin and sacrifice

lost sleep, count sheep
Can't seem to get my mind off of things
Toss and turn, candles burn
Grinding teeth at night endlessly
Old habbits die hard and I've lived so fast
And I know its a long way down

tempting me
Tempting you
Tempting us in all we do
Can't make a move
Show me a sign
What's your will
Its a...

long long way
Between sin and sacrifice
Long long way
Between sin and sacrifice
Long long way
Between sin and sacrifice
Long long way
Between sin and sacrifice

I'm burning internally
I'm burning
I'm burning internally
I'm burning
Its a...

long long way
Between sin and sacrifice
Long long way
Between sin and sacrifice
Long long way
Between sin and sacrifice

    very powerful, i agree, i think it is about a decision made in life that has come back to haunt him, and no matter how he tries to justify it he just cant stop regretting it and its eating away at him,

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
