It Won't Be Long
You'd think I'd grow accustomed to you being away
But ever since you left me here, I see you everyday
We might have made it work if you had had the guts to stay
But oh my darling, it won't be long
Winter's on its way, yes I can feel it in my bones
I swear it's gotten colder ever since I've been alone
And it feels as though your memory's the only thing I own
But oh my darling, it won't be long
Before I see your smiling face
And I can hold your hand
Cause then I'll be right by your side
Oh my darling, it won't be long
I'm starting to forget all of the ridges of your spine
And I can't even tell if it's the distance or the wine
You went to the West and left my spoiling on the vine
And oh my darling, it won't be long
I doubt that you can hear me, but I guess you ought to know
I wish that I had told you, "take me with you when you go"
But I can keep from drowning, holding on to the ago
And oh my darling it won't be long
Before I see your smiling face
And I can hold your hand
Cause then I'll be right by your side
Oh my darling, it won't be long
I'd walk in the fire for to find the love I knew
So darling would you blame me if I tried to see this through
Cause I'll be at my best when I am lying next to you
And oh my darling it won't be long
"There's nothing to fear," you said, "it's just a change of state"
But my heart's been defeated by this crooked twist of fate
So will you be there waiting when I reach those pearly gates
Cause oh my darling, oh my darling
It won't be long
But ever since you left me here, I see you everyday
We might have made it work if you had had the guts to stay
But oh my darling, it won't be long
Winter's on its way, yes I can feel it in my bones
I swear it's gotten colder ever since I've been alone
And it feels as though your memory's the only thing I own
But oh my darling, it won't be long
Before I see your smiling face
And I can hold your hand
Cause then I'll be right by your side
Oh my darling, it won't be long
I'm starting to forget all of the ridges of your spine
And I can't even tell if it's the distance or the wine
You went to the West and left my spoiling on the vine
And oh my darling, it won't be long
I doubt that you can hear me, but I guess you ought to know
I wish that I had told you, "take me with you when you go"
But I can keep from drowning, holding on to the ago
And oh my darling it won't be long
Before I see your smiling face
And I can hold your hand
Cause then I'll be right by your side
Oh my darling, it won't be long
I'd walk in the fire for to find the love I knew
So darling would you blame me if I tried to see this through
Cause I'll be at my best when I am lying next to you
And oh my darling it won't be long
"There's nothing to fear," you said, "it's just a change of state"
But my heart's been defeated by this crooked twist of fate
So will you be there waiting when I reach those pearly gates
Cause oh my darling, oh my darling
It won't be long
