Long Distance Lullaby
Stornoway
Letra

Goodnight, goodnight, the sun is long out of sight
And I stagger home by the streetlight
Goodnight, goodnight, went out after work tonight
Only meant to stay for a swift pint

And I'm giving you a call though I'm in no fit state
And I know it's far too late
And I'm hardly thinking straight
'Cos I've missed you ever since you moved away from here
And it's not the same this year

But I still can't sleep here without you to wish me a ..

Goodnight soulmate, I know I'm in no state
To call you up and keep you up so late

I've been so lonely since you left me here

And I've got my friends but I can't really talk to them
Like I can talk to you
Remember how we used to stay up very very late and smoke
And listen did I say how much I miss you now?
I'm keeping you from sleeping now
I only called to wish you could be here tonight
To hold me while I'm wishing you a ..

Goodnight soulmate, I know I'm in no state
To call you up and keep you up so late
