Lyrics
HOW LONG?
I saw you, waiting,
Underneath the velvet sky
And you were crying
Or was it sunlight in your eyes?
You've got your suitcase
Your memories all packed away
More bad times than good times
I guess it had to end this way
How long will you run, how long is long enough?
How far will you run, how far is far enough?
I know how you 're feeling
We've all been through this once or twice
Angry, defeated,
Knowing you must pay the price
How long will you run, how long is long enough?
How far will you run, how far is far enough?
Don't ever think that you were wrong
You know you 're not to blame
Don't ever think that you weren't strong
You tried to carry on - it went on far too long.
How long will you run, how long is long enough?
How far will you run, how far is far enough?
