It Won’t Be Long Lyrics by Bruce Cockburn

Salt, Sun and Time

0

[Verse 1]
Heard the rooster crowing
Couldn't see no dawn
But I know it won't be long
Mmm, won't, it won't be long

[Verse 2]
To keep the fire burning
Ain't no easy game
But we'll do it just the same
Mmm, won't just the same

[Verse 3]
I'm going to the northland
Where the weather keeps you real
Till this devil's law is repealed
Mmm, won't, and it won't be long
Won't, won't, it won't be long
Mmm
