How Long Songtext
von Blue Rodeo

I hear you talking everywhere
Words on the loudspeakers hanging in the air
Everywhere
And I remember the words you told me too
This town′s full of losers, trying to get a piece of you
You really think that's true?

How long will it take ′til you open up your eyes?
I've been gone for years, you never even realised
How long?
How long?

In a corner of the world on election day
You watched your star shatter then fade away
Too many wasted days
With your eyes wide open, a hand on the wheel
You looked back hard, trying to remember just how it feels
How does it feel?


How long will it take 'til you open up your eyes
I′ve been gone for years, you never even realised
How long?
How long?

What does it take
To let you know
It′s all coming down?
Don't waste my time

You used to walk down the street like the chosen one
Everybody got your blessing, now they′re gone
Where have they gone?
Did I ever tell you what I thought of what you did for me?
Some things cost too much even when they're free
Even when they′re free

How long will it take 'til you open up your eyes?
I′ve been gone for years, you never even realised
How long?
How long?
Oh, how long?
