I left the corpses far behind and I escaped
A distant voice reminds me how
Desire fades

In a long, in a long, in a long moan

Those bodies buried in the sand
In bloodstained clothes
Were whithering hand in hand
Like a faded rose

In a long, in a long
In a long, long night-gown
In a long slow-down
In a long, long night-gown
In a long moan

I left a dead soul far behind and I ran further
Still this morning I think time
Can bring about murder

I saw those empty shadows bend
But I won't slump down
The battle made me loose [?] a friend
But I keep on walking

In a long, in a long
In a long, long night-gown
In a long slow-down
In a long, long night-gown
In a long moan

In a long, long night-gown
In a long slow-down
In a long, long night-gown
In a long moan

I left the corpses far behind and I escaped
A distant voice reminds me how
Desire fades

I left them far behind and they still scream
And you remind me how
Desire is

- In a Long Moan appears on the Pop Song EP (2000).
- A live re-orchestrated version appears on The man who was already dead (2000) [recorded Sept. 26th, 2000]

A very nice song, often played on stage by the band. Probably from the play Kiss from the Ghost, if you consider the subject and the vocabulary.
The lyrics reproduced here are taken from the sleeve of The man who was already dead. However, I have doubts that the battle "made me loose" but rather "made me lose" a friend.
