Lyrics

How Long?

[Verse 1]

It's five o'clock

In the afternoon

Somebody's playing

A sixties tune on the radio

A lazy wind tumbles

Down the street

It shakes the dust up

With the summer heat

Where the people go...

[Pre-Chorus]

In fancy town

Where nothing's real

They don't consider

What you feel

In fancy town

It's black and white

They close their minds

They say

Wrong is right

[Chorus]

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

Hold on!

[Verse 2]

In fancy town

The attitude

Could strip you bare

Like frozen food

A ship of fools

In a crazy choir

Is gonna take you home

And light your fire

[Pre-Chorus]

In fancy town

Where nothing's real

They don't consider

What you feel

In fancy town

It's black and white

They close their minds

They say

Wrong is right

[Chorus]

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

Hold on!

[Verse 3]

A deck of cards

In perfect black

Like cold cement

On the pavement cracks

Where lovers steal

And beg for time

And doctors sign

On the dotted line...

[Chorus]

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

Hold on!

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

How long

Will your love?

Hold on!

To stay strong enough

Hold on!
