Longing is the life you found

(Music by Tom Levin. Lyrics by Tom Levin & Cole Ruth)

All the seasons into one
Every night you come undone
Can’t even rest in your dreams

You’ve been offered more or less
But what you want is something else
A promised love, a promised land

The stories that you tell
Belong to people that you’ve known
You got no stories of your own

Long, long is the road around
Long, longing is the life you found
Out of reach of solid ground

Unblown candles on the cake
And the bed you left unmade
Even gone in my dreams

All I keep is your farewell
And a book of broken spells
Can’t bring you here, can’t bring you home

There’s a saga to be told
Unmade memories you will find
Down that winding road you left behind

Long, long is the road around
Long, longing is the life you found
Out of reach of solid ground

There’s a saga to be told
Unmade memories you will find
Down that winding road

Long, long is the road around
Long, longing is the life you found
Lone, lonely is the church bell sound
Long, longing is the life you found
Out of reach of solid ground
