Kasey Chambers - This Is Gonna Be a Long Year lyrics

Something’s started and something’s ended It’s the hearts that break if left unattended I am not so easily offended If it’s broken then I guess it can’t be mended It’s the wives that aim between the eyes And then shoot to k** a wolf that cries again But I’m okay with second prize this time These are the days when the noise is hard to hear These are the days when it all can disappear And you know babe, it is the only thing that’s clear This is gonna be a long year God knows it’s not the only place to keep it Hell, it’s better than sitting around listening to someone tell us That Jesus died but you know that Elvis Is alive and well and living in a cheap hotel It’s the love that’s lost and the fingers crossed You know that nothing comes without a cost But God it’s hard to turn it off this time These are the days when the noise is hard to hear These are the days when it all can disappear And you know babe, it is the only thing that’s clear This is gonna be a long year It’s the chump who says he’ll always make it It’s the wounded who can says, no, he can take it But am I smart enough to not mistake it For the undermined that are overrated It’s the best of luck if you come unstuck But you better be sure you wanna give it up ‘Cause nobody here really gives a f** this time These are the days when the noise is hard to hear These are the days when it all can disappear And you know babe, it is the only thing that’s clear This is gonna be… Yeah, this is gonna be a long year This is gonna be a long year baby For the hearts and souls with the holes and maybe We can take a breath and we can wish them well While we wait here for that mission bell To bring and sing it out with open ears And you can wash your skin with all the tears And scream hallelujah till it’s all you hear Cause it’s gonna be a long, long year Long, long year Long, long year Long, long year Long, long year Long, long year Long, long year Oh, oh, this is gonna be a long This is gonna be a long, long year Long, long year Long, long year Long, long year Long, long, long, long, long year
