How Long
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say you need someone to love
But when will you learn?
Whatever's done in this world
It's still gonna turn
Oh, down comes the night
Just another forever
How long?
How long til you see that we're in this together?
How long?
How long?
If you weren't so far away
So far from here
I'd make your tears go away
And make you see clear
Oh, you'd see a night when two hearts were surrendered
How long?
I don't want you to be the one I remember
How long?
How long?
Oh time goes by
In the blink of an eye
It's passed over you
There's no time to hide
Won't you stand by my side
I'm asking you
Oh, down comes the night
Just another forever
How long
How long til you see that we're in this together?
How long?
How long?
