In the Long Run
The Staves
Lying
A dreamer dreaming beside me
The city sirens keep me awake
And I know I'll see you again
in the long run
People
they tell me I should be careful
that you'll worry, and I'm already miles away
but I know
I'll see you again in the long run
And I know
I'll meet you again in the long run
But we can't be lovers 'cause I'm still afraid
of leaving the things I love dearly
I wander
I roam, I write home to tell you
that I'm sorry
I won't leave it this late again
But I know
I’ll see you again in the long run
And I know
I’ll meet you again in the long run
But I can’t be married
You’ll take me away
From everything that I love dearly.
And we can’t be lovers
You’ll take me away from my home
My home
My home
But I know
I’ll see you again in the long run
