lyrics

On average, two women a week in England are killed by current or former partners.
I was a lucky one, I survived. I wasn’t a statistic.

Longest Night
Written, peformed&recorded by Steph Sweet in England 2014

The sun never rises above the trees at this time of year
And I know that you’re hoping for snow.
To cover all the traces of where I used to go.
I dreamt of you last night
And what will I do now?
Frozen winds crack winter branches,
Sounds like dogs running through the leaves.
Then it all goes glittery and silent,
As if someone had thought of me.
I dreamt of you last night
And what will I do now?
I was always too fond of roaming alone,
Until you caught me.
And now I’m never sure,
Always wondering who’s haunting who?
Until I see you look right through me.
On this longest of nights
On this longest of nights
The leaves, they cover me
The snow begins to fall.
First you punch my face
I cannot help but fall
You stamp on my hand
I can’t get up off the floor
Three times you punch my face
Can’t get up at all
You stamp on my hand
You say, now play that guitar
First you break my face
I cannot help but fall
The leaves, they cover me
The snow begins to fall
The snow begins to fall
The snow begins to fall
