These are the longest days
I've ever known,
Groan out of my bed,
Look at my watch, too soon,
Too much daylight leads to
A night life and the fear
Of another day that's going
To last four or five years,
Now i know how it all shakes,
Do you feel that way too?
Now i know how it all breaks,
Are you feeling that way too?
Saw the sorrow in your eyes,
Saw your whole world turning around,
And the mess we got ourselves in,
It's taken that time will tell,
Well it's taken it's taken it's toll on me,
Still i know the hand of love
Isn't just the hand of mercy
There's a gap you can't ignore,
When your heart's so far away,
The aching and the stretching out
On the rack of another day
Well hope was the worst thing
I could get from anyone,
So take these days away
And bring me the shortest ones.
