The Longing Lyrics by Edison’s Children

Somewhere Between Here And There

2015

A Winter’s fire burning bright
Funny the things you long for
Warming your soul in the night
Funny the things you long for
Now I feel so cold aching in my bones
I just want a place to call home
And I will roam this netherworld
Until I know that you are never alone
One more chance to say goodbye
Funny the things that you long for
One more chance to hold you tight
Funny the things you long for
Wandering in and out of your mind
When I had to desert you
I know you feel so betrayed
I never wanted to hurt you
Even when you feel all alone
I won’t be far from home
Just close your eyes
And I will be all around you
Was I really there or just the fleeting vision from the corner of your eye?
Just a vision from your mind overwhelmed by that chill inside
A glimpse into a world completely lost in its own despair
I can’t move on from here until I know that I’m in there
Forevermore
So when things fall from the wall
That’s just my way of making a curtain call
Ever creak in the floor, ever squeak in the door
Every noise in the hall
So when you get up at night and see a strange sort of light
It’s the way that you know
I will watch over you from the longing
