Lyrics

I wake up in the morning
Throw some water on my face and I’m gone
Out the door and into the dawn
Out of the dark into the gray
And then I’m on the subway
Empty people staring into space
But look at me, I wear the same face
We’re all trying to survive another day
And after a while it it’s bound to take its toll
And the New York city lifestyle tries to swallow me whole
Sometimes it’s all I have to muddle through the day
But then I stop, I get out of my own way
‘Cause it won’t be long

It’s all just temporary
We roll around in sorrow or in bliss
And we think t’s always gonna be like this
Like an unmoving point in space
Oh. But everything’s in motion
All of the ties we thought would bind us come undone
And like the setting and the rising of the sun
We will not ever stay for long in one place
Well, time is our friend sometimes, time’s on our side
Time delivers the healing that helps us abide
It’s here before we know it to see us through
So just stop, it’ll be there for you

It won’t be long
(It won’t be long) y’know It won’t be long
(It won’t be long) It won’t be long before we’re far from here
(Far away from here) it won’t be long

All the hills, all the valleys, all the highs and the lows
One after another or so it goes
They all pass before we know it,
And you don’t have long to wait
So just wait for it, Wait for it

‘casue It won’t be long
(It won’t be long) It won’t be long
(It won’t be long) It won’t be long before we’re far from here
(Far away from here)

Far away and it won’t be long
(It won’t be long) y’know It won’t be long
(It won’t be long) It won’t be long before we’re far from here
(Far away from here)
