Life Is A Long Song

When you're falling awake
 And you take stock of the new day
 And you hear your voice croak
 As you choke on what you need to say,
 Well, don't you fret, don't you fear,
 I will give you good cheer.
 Life's a long song,
 Life's a long song,
 Life's a long song.
 If you wait then your plate I will fill.
 As the verses unfold and your soul
 Suffers the long day
 And the twelve o'clock gloom
 Spins the room, you struggle on your way,
 Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry,
 Lick the dust from your eye.
 We'll meet in the sweet light of dawn.
 As the Baker Street train spills your pain
 All over your new dress
 And the symphony sounds underground
 Puts you under duress,
 Well, don't you squeal as the heel
 Grinds you under the weels.
 Life's a long song,
 Life's a long song,
 Life's a long song,
 But the tune ends too soon for us all.
