Not long, not long That's what he said – there's nothing you can do You were young and in love Your life was still ahead of you And in silence you prayed Be strong, be strong Will you find the strength to carry on? Without hope and all is fear There's no one looking out for you my dear And in silence you prayed How long the nights that you stayed awake So sleepless And alone All alone Did you know how precious life would feel When time's your enemy? Did you know how precious life would feel When time's your enemy? No words, no words Just keep it all inside, inside It's a curse but denial Might just be what's keeping you alive And in silence you prayed How long the nights that you stayed awake So sleepless And alone All alone Did you know how precious life would feel When time's your enemy? Did you know how precious life would feel When time's your enemy?
