It's like a storm at sea Everything is closed And the fretful sailors Calling out their woes And each one is closed They are all gentlemen They will hang up If there is a reason each of them must go To join the cruel, cruel flow 'Cos it'll take a long, long time 'Cos it'll take a long, long time 'Cos it'll take a long, long time 'Cos it'll take a long, long time There's no need for rules No one starts again And there is nobody living in this town That even knows it's strange 'Cos it'll take a long, long time 'Cos it'll take a long, long time 'Cos it'll take a long, long time 'Cos it'll take a long, long time You and I will take a long, long time We will take a long, long time It'll take a long, long time (Don't stop, you don't stop)
