Life Is a Long Song

When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day
And you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say

Well, don't you fret
Don't you fear
I will give you good chear

Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
If you wait then your plate I will fill

As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day
And the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room you struggle on your way

Well, don't you sigh
Don't you cry
Lick the dust from your eye

Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
We will meet in the sweet light of dawn

As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dress
And the symphony sounds underground put you under duress

Well, don't you squeal
As the heel
Grinds you under the wheel

Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
But the tune ends too soon for us all

Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
But the tune ends too soon for us all
