Stories To Tell cover
02. How Long
Album: Stories To Tell
Artist: Dave Barnes
         
 

You and I are living heavy hearted,
Are we just another long goodbye?
In this land of the left and leaving,
We know that we gotta try.

How long can we go on?
Here in the middle.
We won’t give a little.
How long can we go on like this?
Oh, won’t you tell me.
How long can we go on,
Heartbreak is what it takes sometimes,
To see.
But what about you and me?
How long?

Forgiveness is a heavy promise,
It’s a language that’s so hard to speak.
I’m hearing whispers by the darkest voices,
But I know what you mean to me.

All we are, we are,
What we’ll be, we’ll be.
You and I gotta find the burned up bridge to each other’s side,
It’s the only way to see.

How long can we go on?
Barely living,
When nobody’s giving in.
How long can we go on like this?
Oh, won’t you tell me.
How long can we go on,
Heartbreak is what it takes sometimes,
To see.
What about you and me?
How long?
