When you've falling awake

And you take stock of the new day

And you hear your voice croak

As you choke on what you need to say

Well don't you fret don't you fear

I will give you good cheer

Life's a long song

Life's a long song

Life's a long song

If you wait then your plate I will fill

As the verses unfold

And your soul suffers the long day

And the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room

You struggle on your way

Don't you sigh don't you cry

Lick the dust from your eye

Life's a long song

Life's a long song

Life's a long song

We will meet in the sweet light of dawn

As the baker street train spills your pain

All over your new dress

And the symphony sounds underground

Put you under duress

Well don't you squeal as the heel

Grinds you under the wheels

Life's a long song

Life's a long song

Life's a long song

But the tune ends too soon for us all

But the tune ends too soon for us all
