In the Long Run - The Staves

Lying, a dreamer, dreaming beside me

The city sirens keep me awake

And I know

I’ll see you again in the long run

People they tell me I should be careful

That you’ll 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 wander, I roam, I write 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 be married

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

My home

My home

But I know

I’ll see you again in the long run
