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 bow and cry In the stillness of the night 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, I see no light on the forsaken Never is a long time, goodbye Let's spend the night When this dream has come to an end Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry And yes, I've cried over you You've left me blind in paradise Yeah, you left me hungering for the touch of you Snow white angels run and hide In the blackness of the night Yeah, 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, I see no light on the forsaken Never is a long time, goodbye Let's spend the night When this dream has come to an end Never is a long time Oh, never is a long time Oo, never is a long time
