For How Long lyrics
For how long can I pretend it’s all right
Waiting for the morning light
When all good people are gone
How can I keep on keeping on
How can I keep on keeping on
For how long can I stumble through the dark
Feeling for the frozen Ark
There’s no trace of the man
Just faint foot prints in the sand
Just faint foot prints in the sand
Oh babe don’t you understand
You should never grab the hand
Of a drowning man
Never grab the hand
Of a drowning man
No, never grab the hand
Of a drowning man
For how long can you remain in this place
Looking at my twisted face
I take my last breath of pain
As you tighten up the chains
As you tighten up my chains
For how long can you listen to my cries
Watching the high water rise
There is no trick I can do
I can’t keep from missing you
No, I can’t keep from missing you
Oh babe don’t you understand
You should never grab the hand
Of a drowning man
Never grab the hand
Of a drowning man
A drowning man
No, never grab the hand
Of a drowning man
I can see shadows on the wall
I can hear voices in the hall
I feel they’re coming for me
I can hear the jangle of the keys
The jangle of the keys
They’re coming for me
They’re coming for me
How long can the battle take to win
Fighting webs that people spin
It’s as clear as words through time
What you did you broke the line
What you did you broke the line
How long can we deny who we are
Hiding all our inner scars
Get up don’t you lie no more
Some one’s knocking at your door
Some one’s knocking at your door
Oh babe don’t you understand
You should never grab the hand
Of a drowning man
Never grab the hand
Of a drowning man
A drowning man
No, never grab the hand
Of a drowning man
