Lyrics
Long, Long, 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.
The higher the mountain, the harder the fall
Looking for blood at the scene of the crime
It's been running in circles or nothing at all
For a long, long, long time
Boxing at shadows and listening at doors
Pushing the buttons and pulling the blinds
We haven't been honest or clever or sure
In a long, long, long time
It's been a long, long, long time
Funny how the heart of everyone
Is the part you'll never know
Funny how the heart of holding on
Is letting go
The higher the mountain, the harder thе fall
Turning the corner and looking for signs
You leap in thе dark while I wait for the call
It's been a long, long, long time
Out of the furnace and into the flames
Holding a candle and crossing the line
We haven't been playing with fire or rain
In a long, long, long time
For a long, long, long time
It's been a long, long, long time
Funny how the heart of everyone
Is the part you'll never know
Funny how the heart of holding on
Is letting go
Funny how the heart of everyone
(Save me the last word)
Is the part you'll never know
Funny how the heart of holding on
(Save me the last word)
Is letting go
Funny how the heart of everyone
(Save me the last word)
Is the part you'll never know
Funny how the heart of holding on
(Save me the last word)
Is letting go
