Sally tells long for love
It started in new amsterdam
She's gone
Gone through change
Gone through planes and magazines
And that is all
The church bells ringing through her head
Some live life through the dotted line
Some bet the safe bet sounding off

The good life, the one life
The whole life, the old life
The lasting single
Solitary world that you will know
The good life, the one life
The whole life, the old life
The lasting single
Solitary world that you will know

This counsel's faltered enough
And shadows drag through the dusk
And that's the way it always goes down
Now this counsel's faltered enough
Back through the sin that you trust
And that's the way it always, always goes

Chasing dreams and signing off
Through the haze that's given up
She's gone, gone through change
Gone through flood and hurricane
And that is all
Sheltered victory's defeat a martyr for belief in time
A martyr for a belief in life

The good life, the one life
The whole life, the old life
The lasting single
Solitary world that you will know
The good life, the one life
The whole life, the old life
The lasting single
Solitary world that you will know

This counsel's faltered enough
And shadows drag through the dusk
And that's the way it always goes down
Now this counsel's faltered enough
Back through the sin that you trust
And that's the way it always, always goes

Our winter is long
Too long for us every year
And our blood is ice, ice
Just like the roadway glare
The poor man survives
The rich man sheds many tears
Whoever we are, we wish to God we were better here

But no I won't say that
No I won't be there
I'm not the answer
I don't see clear
I don't know myself
I don't know myself, myself
Aand days feel like years
