When you're falling 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 cheer
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 Flick 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 put you under duress Well don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel
Life's a long song Life's a long song Life's a long song
