Lyrics for It'll Take A Long Time
Oh it's like a storm at sea And everything is lost, And the fretful sailors calling out their woes, As to the waves they're tossed. Oh they are all gentlemen, And never will they know If there is a reason each of them must go, To join the cruel flow. And it'll take a long, long time. It'll take a long, long time. It'll take a long, long time. Oh it'll take such a long, long time. There is no need for rules, There's no-one to score the game And there is nobody living in this town As even knows it's name. Oh it'll take such a long, long time. It'll take a long, long time. It'll take a long, long time. A long, long time.
