It's like a storm at sea
Everything is closed
And the fretful sailors
Calling out their woes
And each one is closed

They are all gentlemen
They will hang up
If there is a reason each of them must go
To join the cruel, cruel flow

'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time

There's no need for rules
No one starts again
And there is nobody living in this town
That even knows it's strange

'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time

You and I will take a long, long time
We will take a long, long time
It'll take a long, long time

(Don't stop, you don't stop)
