how long will your crowns stay gold will it slip away and leave when you re old i ll wait where the tall tree bends if you find me i ll be with you near the end how long before that fear sets in will it come to you to wash away your sin how long before you cut me down to size however long it takes you to realize oh my love you re not alone oh my love you re not alone and you move around in this city it s veins shaped your history i know you ve been far from home and that medicine cuts right to the bone i see the grief got caught on your face running from a nameless place go tell your father you didn t mean to lie don t worry about us we d never ask you why oh my love you re not alone oh my love you re not alone you ll take off your sides that river runs wide you ll wait where only better winds have blown for a little peace of mind it s a hard way to be for a little peace of mind that s a hard way to be
