An old man walks along the path
it isn't raining anymore
the hotel sign reflects upon a lorry parked below
a kid goes walking home from school
and stands there at the door
Behind the windows people sit waiting
for the bus to go
Another long, lonely afternoon away from you
and a long dark lonely night ahead
It's been a long, lonely afternoon here on my own
such a long dark lonely night ahead
The heavy clouds are forming for
another day dark and rainy night
a woman hurries home before the storm begins
to break
and as she turns to cross the street
waiting for the walking light
she glances quickly at her watch
hoping that she won't be late
Another long, lonely afternoon away from you
and a long dark lonely night ahead
It's been a long lonely afternoon here on my own
such a long dark lonely night ahead
