The longest shadow of the day
Stretches out into the gray
Paints our flight in softening light
Bends our aim to the night

The longest shadow of the day
Reaches out along the way
Shrouds our sight in failing light
Turns our gaze to the night

How long can this last?
How long will we stray?
In this plight of fading light
The longest shadow of the day

We all will go down
We all fall prey
Lose the fight to the dying light
The longest shadow of the day
