Now bring me sorrow, now bring such tears
The words fell off the paper
So I'm gonna sweep away each line
But it's gonna take a long, long time
Streetlight standin' alone all night in the rain
Shinin' for no one, shinin' all in vain
I'm gonna stop wasting my love like this because it's a crime
But it's gonna take a long, long time
Call the doctor when your body hurts
But when the pain is in your soul, hey man nothin' works
Smoke from a cigarette coming underneath my door
Just like your memory sneakin' up on me some more
I'm gonna be all right and leave this heartache behind
But it's gonna take a long, long time
Lipstick on a glass
Somebody wants to look pretty
And wants to forget the past
Someday these tangled thoughts are gonna all unwind
But it's gonna take a long, long time
