Lyrics
For So Long
It's another summer night and
I can only think of autumn
Oh the moon is full and bright and
Well, I couldn't really care.
The stars are shining
But I only see disorder
I can hear distant singing
But I know they're out of tune
It's not that I cannot appreciate
Spontaneous beauty and things that have been there for so long
It's just that I'm longing to see your face
And I know that I'll just be sitting here, waiting for so long
For so long
I've got a lot of money
But I waste it on the little things
I've got a lot of love, babe
But what's the point if you're away
It's not that I cannot appreciate
The dreaming and wishing and hoping and needing for so long
It's just that I want for your warm embrace
But I know that I'll just be feeling this feeling for so long
For so long
I've got a million things to do
But I can't concentrate at all
Clocks will have their selfish reasons
For having so much time to spend
On a perfect summer season
But I just want it to end
It's not that I'll never appreciate
The heat and noise of the parties that go on for so long
It's just that I fully anticipate
The moment we put all this waiting behind us for so long
For So Long
