It's A Long Life To Always Be Longing - Hawksley Workman

You said I’m wise, but I’m not so sure

Maybe my lies were just that good

And my lonely tears wish never to be

Puddled on the floor with just them and me

It’s a long life, a long life to be always longing

It’s a long life, a long life to be always longing

There’s truth in these eyes, you can rest assured

Salvaged by voices that have no words

Running with fear left ruin in its wake

Is the measure of a man how much love he can fake?

It’s a long life, a long life to be always longing

It’s a long life, a long life to be always longing

Oh, time, it is so hard

With all your fears and your running around

We sadly burn down what we had

It happens so long

It’s a long life, a long life to be always longing

It’s a long life, a long life to be always longing
