Forever is a Long Time

You can't escape the feeling

That rises from the root

The sputter, then the silence

When two hearts run out of fuel

We painted little pictures

To escape the big

But now the light is fading

And all our love with it

And it won't quit

It's a long way to the end of the road

When you wandered, were you swallowed by the valley below?

So focus hard on every following step

Oh, 'cause forever is a long long time to guess

Oh, forever is a long time

Looking down the water

This way a ripple rolls

But turn your face away and

Still you feel the cold

But I'm shaking in my sheets now

There's nowhere left to hide

A hundred thousand mirrors

That shatter you and I

You and I

It's a long way to the end of the road

When you wandered, were you swallowed by the valley below?

So focus hard on every following step

Oh, 'cause forever is a long long time to guess

Oh, forever is a long time
