In the Long Run Lyrics by The Staves

Dead & Born & Grown

2012

Lying, a dreamer dreaming beside me
The city sirens keep me awake
And I know I'll see you again in the long run
People, they tell me I should be careful
That you'll worry and I'm already miles away
But I know I'll see you again in the long run
And I know I'll meet you again in the long run
But we can't be lovers 'cause I'm still afraid
Of leaving the things I love dearly
I wander, I roam, I write home to tell you
That I'm sorry, I won't leave it this late again
But I know I'll see you again in the long run
And I know I'll meet you again in the long run
But I can't be married, you'll take me away
From everything that I love dearly
And we can't be lovers
You'll take me away from my home
My home
My home
But I know I'll see you again in the long run
