How Long Songtext
von Andy Shauf

There′s a telephone smile and it's begging me so
To pack all my things and make this long journey home
There′s a dark icy road and there's a man on TV
And he's talking so fast about the reasons why I can′t leave


There′s a bottle of beer on a bus driver's mind
There′s a time and a place and he's eager to find
There′s a waitress' birthday on the second of June
And it′s taking forever for her to turn twenty-two

There's a saying in my mind I've heard it before
They′re the kind of words that you start to ignore
It′s less of a truth than a question of time
That good things come to those who wait

So how long will I wait?
Oh how long will I wait?
Oh how long will I wait?
How long will I wait?
