Lyrics How Long - Shannon and the Clams

How Long

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…
