How Long

(album: Hack - 1990)

How long
Till you and I can be together
How long
Until we see this through

Do you recall that winter evening
The night that I first said I'm leaving
Hoping
You would change my mind

I lay my head upon your knees and
Whispered please but inside I was
Leaving
I'm the leaving kind

I could put you off forever
This longing has no end

How long
Till you and I can be together
How long
Until we see this through
How long
Until we know that this is forever
Till I say I love you
Should I say I love you
Can I say I love you
We've got to see this through

And when the burning leaves are falling
I can always hear you calling
Fearing
That we are losing ground

But in our secret hearts we're knowing
Our love is winter and it's snowing
Falling
Comfort coming down

I cut put you off forever
This longing has no end
Advertising lasts a lifetime
If not now, then when?

How long
Till you and I can be together
How long
Until we see this through
How long
Until we know that this is forever
Till I say I love you
Should I say I love you
Can I say I love you
We've got to see this through
