Life's A Long Song

When you've fallen awake

And you take

Stock of the new day.



And you hear your voice croak

As you choke

on what you need to say.



Well, don't you fret

Don't you fear.

I will give you good chear.



Life's a long song.

Life's a long song.

Life's a long song.

If you wait then your plate I will fill.



As the verses unfold

And your soul

Suffers the long day.



And the twelve o'clock gloom

Spins the room

You struggle on your way.



Well, don't you sigh

Don't you cry.

Lick the dust from your eye.



Life's a long song.

Life's a long song.

Life's a long song.

We will meet in the sweet light of dawn.



As the Baker Street train

Spills your pain

All over your new dress.



And the symphony sounds

underground

But you wanted to rest.



Well, don't you squeal

As the mill

Grinds you under its wheel.



Life's a long song.

Life's a long song.

Life's a long song.

But the tune ends too soon for us all.



Life's a long song.

Life's a long song.

Life's a long song.

But the tune ends too soon for us all.
