How Long - Shannon and the Clams

Oh, are you lonely?

'Cause I feel lonely too

My one and only

Is adfrift in the blue

How long?

How long?

How long has your heart been gone?

Are you defeated?

'Cause I’m defeated too

What I once needed

Was pulled out by the blue

How long?

How long?

How long has your heart been gone?

It’s not your fault for following

The pathways of your heart

It’s not your fault for being brave

And seeking other stars

But I can’t help the way

You make me feel that day

Oh, are you tired?

'Cause I feel tired too

I’ve been treading oceans

In dark waters, for you

How long?

How long?

How long has your heart been gone?

It’s not your fault for following

The pathways of your heart

It’s not your fault for being brave

And seeking other stars

But I can’t help the way

You make me feel that day

But when the night comes

I’ll dust myself off

I’ll look to tomorrow

Avoiding the sorrow

But when the dawn comes

And I yearn for your touch

But when the dawn comes

You’re gone

I can’t help the way

You make me feel that day…
