Why Does It Take So Long

[Verse 1]

How does it take so long?

To get on by?

Singin' it over and over

Swept through the tide

On the street like a lonely dog

Kept from the table

Hold no quarter

No big sky, no fine fables

[Chorus]

Tell me why

Why does it take so long

To feel?

Tell me why

[Verse 2]

Stuck in a parking lot

Where's your motor?

Seems like all you've got

Is what you've left beside her

And everything you need

Is out of reach

So take the slow and lonely river

To the sea

[Chorus]

Tell mе why

Why does it take so long

To feel?

Tell mе why

[Bridge]

Holding on, never gone

Understanding, beside you

It's not right

You're holding on so long

Years are gone, never know

What the world did to [?] you

It's not why

Let you sink so long

It's not right

Let it go

[Chorus]

Tell me why

Why does it take so long

To feel?

Tell me why
