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
