Some Nights Are Long lyrics

Look for a sign in a window An ad in the paper, a job waiting tables Tie on an apron for change in my pocket Spend at the shops and study the docket I can be honest, I can respond Hold my own and take on what comes Save it for later, be restrained Make up my mind and then want to change it Nights are long They creep up upon us Like a storm when nothing's in order These little thoughts they buzz like a train Find my page and turn them again and again I guess I got lost, I must've forgot it, it's just been so hot I make all my choices on coins I can toss On coins for the washing, to slide in the slots I can be honest, I can be strong And wait for all those letters to come Peel off the labels, check the dates Order my days and then rearrange them Nights are long They creep up upon us Like a storm when nothing's in order These little thoughts they buzz like a train
