The Staves — In The Long Run lyrics

Lyrics

Lying, a dreamer dreaming beside me The city sirens keep me awake
I know I’ll see you again in the long run
People, they tell me I should be careful
That you 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 wonder, I rode my ride 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 marry, 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
But I know I’ll see you again in the long run
