I’ve been turning up the stones of my own discontent And I’m finding out where all my hidden sorrows went They’ve been laying there for years, I kept them out of view But its time I dust you off and take a good look at you
Oh how long? Oh How long? Oh
Well its easier to clench your fist and grind your teeth Then to look into the sadness that lives underneath You can kill off all those feelings They’ll just turn to ghosts They will take over your house and become the host
Oh how long? Oh how long? Oh
Well the man of sorrows walked the shores of Galilee And his eyes were cast with joy towards the crystal sea Well the shadows will be gone and all these bitter tears And my heart will hang on that until the dawn appears
Oh how long Oh how long Oh you, you won’t let me go Oh no, no. Oh no you won’t let me go Oh no, oh no, you won’t let me go Oh no, oh no you won’t let me go
