In the Long Run

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
