Lyrics
Never Is a Long Time
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 build it up and teared it down
There's no reason to follow you
You left the song without a sound
You left the story I made for you
Softly angels bow and cry
In the stillness of the night
Never is a long time, goodbye
No answers for the asking
It's a long time, goodbye
No mercy for the aching
It's a long time, oh I see no light on the forsaken
Never is a long time, goodbye
Let's spend the night
When this dream has come to an end
Sometimes you laugh
Sometimes you cry
And yes, I've cried over you
You left me blind in paradise
You left me hungering for the touch of you
Snow white angels run and hide
In the blackness of the night
Never is a long time, goodbye
No answers for the asking
It's a long time, goodbye
No mercy for the aching
It's a long time, oh I see no light on the forsaken
Never is a long time, goodbye
Let's spend the night
When this dream has come to an end
Never is a long time
Oh Never is a long time
Uhm, Never is a long time
