Verse 1

You build it up and tear it down,
there's no reason to follow you.
You left the song without a sound,
you left the story I made for you.
Softly angels go and cry,
in the stillness of the night.

Chorus

Never is a long time, goodbye.
No answers for the asking.
It's a long time, goodbye.
No mercy for the aching.
It's a long time, Oh my.
See no light of love forsaken.
Never is a long time, goodbye.
Let's spend the night,
when this dream has come to an end.

Verse 2

Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.
And yes I cried over you.
You left me blind in paradise,
you left me hungry for the touch of you.
Snow white angels run and hide,
in the blackness of the night.

Chorus

Never is a long time, goodbye.
Cm Gm F (never is A long time)
No answers for the asking.
It's a long time, goodbye.
Cm Bb F (never is A long time)
No mercy for the aching.
It's a long time, Oh my.
Cm Bb F (never is A long time)
See no light of love forsaken.
Never is a long time, goodbye.
Let's spend the night,
when this dream has come to an end.

Outro

Never is a long time.
Never is a long time.
