How Long

In a town by the border
Where the skies light up at night
The river runs muddy water
And then in England lost the fight

In a tree there's a bird
Just singing to the night
And I fly alone
Taking away my own

I never understand
The games that we play
I have to stop and wonder
What I really mean to say

How long, 'til you find what you're looking for
How long, 'til it's gone, gone, gone
And everybody wants steady came from pay (How long)
Until our kingdom slips away

There's a man on the hill
Just the eye a fill
No stranger to the danger
He rides where he will

While the time is finally here
Where we let it all disappear
In this town by the border
Where our legions are so clear

I never understand
The games that they play
I have to stop and wonder
What I really mean to say

How long, 'til you find what you're looking for
How long, 'til it's gone, gone, gone
And everybody wants steady came from pay (How long)
Nobody cares anymore, cares anymore

Nobody cares anymore
And nobody cares anymore,
Cares anymore

How long, 'til you find what you're looking for
How long, 'til it's gone, gone, gone
And everybody wants steady came from pay (How long)
And mother kingdom slips away

How long, 'til you find what you're looking for
How long, 'til it's gone, gone, gone
And everybody wants steady came from pay (How long)
Mother kingdom slips away

How long,
Tell me,
How long
And buddy's soul is slippin' away,
It's slippin' away
It's slippin' away
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
