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

It'll Take a Long Time
