The Hour
Paradise Lost · Other Songs - Paradise Lost
how come with you it takes so long?
so long, so long
and if you're slipping out of sanity
I reveal, you're not the fool that feels it strong
what it takes to make you go
holding the hands that shake me
it's just the rules you're reading wrong
oh so wrong
and if you're careless with hostility
I reveal, you're not the fool that gets it wrong
what it takes to make you go
within the hour it finds me
how come with you it takes so long?
so long, so long
and if you're slipping out of sanity
I reveal, and like a fool I feel it strong
what it takes to make you go
