How Long

歌詞

In a town by the border Where the skies light up at night The river runs muddy water And many men have lost the fight In a tree, there's a bird Just singing to be heard Will I fly alone They're taking away my home I'll never understand The games that they play I have to stop and wonder What I really mean to say How long till you find what you're looking for How long till it's gone, gone, gone And everybody wants to be king for a day (How long) Till the kingdom slips away There's a man on the hill Just to give the eye a thrill No stranger to the danger He lies where he will Well, the time is finally here Will we let it all disappear In this town by the border Where the illusions are so clear I never understand The games that they play I have to stop and wonder What I really mean to say How long till you find what you're looking for How long till it's gone, gone, gone And everybody wants to be king for a day (How long) Nobody cares anymore Nobody cares anymore And nobody cares anymore How long till you find what you're looking for How long till it's gone, gone, gone And everybody wants to be king for a day (How long) And mother kingdom slips away How long till you find what you're looking for How long till it's gone, gone, gone And everybody wants to be king for a day (How long) Mother kingdom slips away How long Tell me, how long Everybody's souls are slippin' away It's slippin' away It's slippin' away Slippin' away Slippin' away
