How Long Songtext

von Flatt Lonesome

Like a bluebird with its heart removed, as lonely as a train
I've run just as far as I can run
If I never see the good old days, shining in the sun
I'll be doing fine, and then some

How long, how long, woman will you weep
How long, how long, rock yourself to sleep

I've been doing time in a lonesome prison, where the sun don't shine
Just outside the freedom river runs
Out there in that shiny dark, bloodhounds on your mind
Don't you know it's the same sad situation

How long, how long, woman will you weep
How long, how long, rock yourself to sleep

Everybody feels alright, you know I heard some poor fool say
(Somebody)
Everyone is out there on the loose
Well I wish I'd been in a land of fools, no-one knew my name
What you get is not quite what you choose

How long, how long, woman will you weep
How long, how long, rock yourself to sleep

How long, how long
Muddy river run so deep
How long, how long
Goodnight baby, rock yourself
Sweettalk baby, rock yourself
B-b-b-bye-bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
