The Reason The Night Is Long Lyrics
oh the reason the night is long
is very simple.
oh i miss you when i'm at work.
oh and i miss you when we fight, and you leave.
honey, i confess, i stole your heart.
and honey, i confess that it was criminal.
but i've been captured, i'm paralyzed.
and i've been disarmed by your charm.
oh the reason the night is long is very simple.
i imagine, tonight, that we can get along.
that nothing i can do with you is wrong, tonight.
but if i'm careful at sunset, if i'm mindful at dawn,
clouded minds up north could sometimes produce rain and lightning.
if it's ok to touch you,
it's alright to think "electricity".
maybe it hasn't been so long.
maybe this dim time is just twilight.
is very simple.
oh i miss you when i'm at work.
oh and i miss you when we fight, and you leave.
honey, i confess, i stole your heart.
and honey, i confess that it was criminal.
but i've been captured, i'm paralyzed.
and i've been disarmed by your charm.
i imagine, tonight, that we can get along.
but if i'm careful at sunset, if i'm mindful at dawn,
clouded minds up north could sometimes produce rain and lightning.
it's alright to think "electricity".
maybe it hasn't been so long.
maybe this dim time is just twilight.

honey, i confess, i stole your heart. and honey, i confess that it was criminal. but i've been captured, i'm paralyzed. and i've been disarmed by your charm.

I don't really like rainer maria that much, but this song screams at me, "THIS IS YOU!" So, I like it.
basically the night is long for this person is because he misses his love. he goes onto imagine that what he does doesnt make his love angry. if hes careful not to make her angry or upset she will be happy. he even asks if its ok to touch or not. he doesnt want to get her angry at him. hes very careful. he loves her and he imagines shes happy.
I love this song, it's so sweet it breaks my heart.
"maybe this dim time is just twilight"
so half glass full
What a beautiful song, such a lovely voice
' if it's ok to touch you, it's alright to think "electricity" '
Gorgeous song. Something about the passion of love in your late teens/early 20's that Rainer Maria convey so brilliantly in their early records; their songs perfectly capture the very fine line between agony and ecstacy when learning your first lessons about relationships when you're young.
