How Long Will It Take

Stood along this lonely track

Watching the trains speed along

Weep, oh, willow weep

Let me hear your song

So that my soul will be filled with joy

My heart and I, it alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked

How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?

Tell me, sister, oh, how long

Listen to me as I try my best not to sigh

I still feel the tears on my face

I'm hated by you, and you're loved by me

Though I can't take it, I try not to break it

My heart and I, it alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked

How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?

Oh, tell me now, how long

As I try my best not to sigh

I still feel the tears on my face

I'm hated by you and you're loved by me

Though I can't take it, I try not to break it

My heart and I, it alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked

How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?

Tell me oh, how long
