How Long — текст песни (Blue Rodeo)

I hear you talking everywhere
Words on the loudspeakers
Hanging in the air
Everywhere

And I remember the words
You told me too
This town`s full of losers
Trying to get a piece of you
You really think that`s true

How long will it take
Til you open up your eyes
I`ve been gone for years
You never even realized
How long how long
How long how long

In a corner of the world on election day
You watched your star shatter
Then fade away
Too many wasted days

With your eyes wide open a hand on the wheel
You looked back hard trying to
Remember just how it feels
How does it feel

How long will it take
Til you open up your eyes
I`ve been gone for years
You never even realized
How long how long
How long how long

What does it take
To let you know
It`s all coming down
Don`t waste my time

You used to walk down the street
Like the chosen one
Everybody got your blessing
Now they`re gone
Where have they gone

Did I ever tell you what I thought
Of what you did for me
Some things cost too much
Even when they`re free
Even when they`re free

How long will it take
Til you open up your eyes
I`ve been gone for years
You never even realize
How long how long
How long how long
