How Long

Honey I don’t know if it’s gonna take

But love, we’ll try, we’ll give it our all

Sometimes we can’t catch a break

And love’s just spent beyond recall

How long will you treat me like I’m nothing?

How long will you hide your face?

How long can a man go on forgotten

Carry my sorrows day by day?

Dig my heart out seeking gold

My hammer raised in a crescent arc

I don’t know how much these shafts can hold

The mine trembles, bones in the dark

How long do we have to count our losses

How long will you hide your face

How long can I wrestle with these thoughts and

Carry my sorrows day by day?

How long will we have to bear our crosses

How long will you hide your face

How long till you meet me in the darkness

Carry my sorrows day by day
