How Long

Album: Open Hand Durasi: 2:54
[00:10.94]I get carried along after midnight
[00:13.88]In the sound of the train on the tracks
[00:16.78]Where the rails run alongside the river
[00:19.74]And the water can never come back
[00:22.64]And the headlight is scanning the valley
[00:25.46]And the valley runs south from town
[00:28.30]And it wakes me where I have been sleeping
[00:31.16]With my window shade pulled down
[00:34.00]And if my window's a mile from the river
[00:36.90]And if the engine sounds deep and low
[00:39.84]Then how long till I feel any closer
[00:42.76]To what's rumbling in my soul?
[00:45.74]How long?
[00:48.62]How long?
[00:51.54]How long?
[00:55.02]Feeling it every day
[00:57.40]How long?
[01:00.32]How long?
[01:03.20]How long?
[01:06.16]It's always a ways away
[01:08.98]Always a ways away
[01:12.14]How deep is the river that's flowing?
[01:15.00]How strong is the pull downstream?
[01:18.14]How far is the train engine going?
[01:21.04]And how long have I had the same dream?
[01:23.96]Is there something that moves like a river?
[01:26.82]Is there something that pulls like a train?
[01:29.66]Is there something that rumbles in darkness
[01:32.60]And I don't even know it by name?
[01:35.46]Is there some way to measure this distance?
[01:38.38]Was it close to my heart all along?
[01:41.56]What is this voice that keeps asking
[01:44.28]How far?
[01:47.06]How strong?
[01:50.06]How long?
[01:52.82]How long?
[01:55.72]How long?
[01:59.20]Feeling it every day
[02:01.60]How long?
[02:04.54]How long?
[02:07.72]How long?
[02:10.70]It's always a ways away
[02:13.16]Always a ways away
[02:16.28]How long?
[02:19.28]How long?
[02:22.20]How long?
[02:25.56]Feeling it every day
[02:27.96]How long?
[02:30.82]How long?
[02:33.46]How long?
[02:36.92]It's always a ways away
[02:39.26]Always a ways away
[02:41.36]Always a ways away
