All Night Long - Tom Paxton

All night long, dreaming badly

Feeling something’s wrong

Faces crying as they fade away

Who can say where they were going?

Where’s their song?

Did they leave it in?

Their heart’s too long

Were they waiting for a sunny day?

Who can say whose wind is blowing

I can’t wake the wind to blow my way

Let them shake the world

I know, I know in my way

I know that songs that died unsung

Know their way too

Most songs do, most songs do

All night long, someone’s trying

To believe that he is strong

Will he make it by the fade of the day?

Who can say whose power is growing

I can’t wake the wind to blow my way

Let them shake the world

I know, I know in my way

I know that songs that died unsung

Know their way too

Most songs do, most songs do

All night long, dreaming badly

Feeling something’s wrong

Faces crying as they fade away

Who can say where they were going?

With this song

Did they leave it in?

Their hearts too long

Were they waiting for a sunny day?

Who can say who’s wind is blowing

I can’t wake the wind to blow my way

Let them shake the world

I know, I know in my way

I know that songs that died unsung

Know their way too

Most songs do, most songs do
