|
Cards and letters, meant to bring cheer |
|
Now bring me sorrow, now bring such tears |
|
Words fell off the paper |
|
So I'm gonna sweep away each line |
|
But it's gonna take a long, long time |
|
Streetlight standin', alone all night in the rain |
|
Shinin' for no one, shinin' all in vain |
|
I'm gonna stop wasting my love like this |
|
Because it's a crime |
|
But it's gonna take a long, long time |
|
Call the doctor when your body hurts |
|
But when the pain is in your soul, hey, man nothin' works |
|
Smoke from a cigarette coming underneath my door |
|
Just like your memory, sneakin' up on me some more |
|
But I'm gonna be all right |
|
And leave this heartache behind |
|
But it's gonna take a long, long time |
|
Lipstick on a glass |
|
Somebody wants to look pretty |
|
And wants to forget the past |
|
Someday these tangled thoughts |
|
Are gonna all unwind |
|
It's gonna take a long, long, long, long time |
