How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don't end the nights are long
Days don't end the nights are long
Just take it
Just take it like you're strong
You're just the latest in the long list of lost loves (loves)
Just leave it
We all left where we are from
We're just the latest in the longest rank and file that's ever to exist
In the history of the protest song
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don't end the nights are long
Days go dark the nights are drawn
Days go dark the nights are drawn
Just take it
We all left where we are from
You're just the latest in the long list of lost loves (loves)
We're just the latest in the longest rank and file that's ever to exist
In the history of the protest song
It is whatever it is
And you are wherever you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don't end the nights are long
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don't end the nights are long
Days don't end the nights are long
Days go dark the nights are drawn
Days go dark the nights are drawn
We're just the latest on the longest rank and file that's ever to exist
In the history of
Longest rank and file that's ever to exist
Longest rank and file that's ever to exist
In the history of the protest song
