Long night,
This is what it all comes to;
Oh, long night,
This is what we all go through.
Oh, long night,
Another friend is gone;
Oh, long night,
Leaving us to carry on.
Death is a mighty uniter,
The defeat that comes to every fighter;
Live on -- the dawn will be brighter,
Live on, live on, live on.
Long night,
Let me be with you;
Oh, long night.
I feel you need it too.
Oh, long night,
Rolling in each other's arms;
Oh, long night,
Keep each other safe from harm.
War is a mighty uniter,
The night can only make it tighter;
Live on -- the dawn will be brighter,
Live on, live on, live on.

Live on, live on, live on.
Long night....
Long night....
Long night....
Long night....
Long night!
Liner notes: "A tribute to the legendary Newfoundland fiddle player Emile Benoit. When Emile died a few years ago, he got one hell of a wake from all the younger Newfoundland musicians whom he had mentored, inspired and just been a great friend to. Far into that night, it occurred to Dave that Emile was entering into the longest night of his life."
Emile Benoit, fiddler and composer (1913-1992) of Black Brook, Port-Au-Port Peninsula, NL.
