In The Long Run

The Staves

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
