Sally tells long for love, it started
in new amsterdam, sheâs gone, gone
through change, gone through planes
and magazines, and that is all, the
church bells ringing through her head,
some live life through the dotted line, some
bet the safe bet sounding off
the good life, the one life, the whole
life, the old life, the lasting single
solitary world that you will know,
the good life, the one life, the whole
life, the old life, the lasting single
solitary world that you will know
this counselâs faltered enough, and
shadows drag through the dusk, and
thatâs the way it always goes down
now this counselâs faltered enough,
back through the sin that you trust
and thatâs the way it always, always
goes
chasing dreams and signing off,
through the haze that's given up, sheâs
gone, gone through change, gone
through flood and hurricane, and that
is all, sheltered victoryâs defeat a
martyr for belief in time, a martyr
for a belief in life
the good life, the one life, the whole
life, the old life, the lasting single
solitary world that you will know,
the good life, the one life, the whole
life, the old life, the lasting single
solitary world that you will know
this counselâs faltered enough, and
shadows drag through the dusk, and
thatâs the way it always goes down
now this counselâs faltered enough,
back through the sin that you trust
and thatâs the way it always, always
goes
our winter is long, too long for us
every year, and our blood is ice, ice
just like the roadway glare, the poor man
survives, the rich man sheds many
tears, whoever we are, we wish to God
we were better here
but no i wonât say that, no i wonât be
there, iâm not the answer, i donât see
clear, i donât know, myself
i donât know, myself, myself ,
and days feel like years
