lyrics

Icy shivers down my spine
just crawled out of a bottle of wine

It's a long, long time until the dawn

things that crawl and things that bite
my thoughts as black as the sky tonight

It's a long, long time until the dawn

hold your breath, nobody speak
just don't stand on the step that creaks

It's a long, long time until the dawn

in the dead of night the city sleeps
the water's still and dark and deep

It's a long, long time until the dawn
