How Long sing and play along

Like a bluebird with his heart removed,

lonely as a train,

I've run just as far as I can run.

If I never see

the good old days

shining in the sun,

I'll be doing fine,

and then some.

How long, how long,

woman, will you weep?

How long, how long?

Rock yourself to sleep.

I've been doing time in a lonesome prison,

where the sun don't shine;

just outside, the freedom river runs.

Out there in that shining night,

with bloodhounds on your mind,

don't you know it's the same sad situation.

How long, how long,

woman, will you weep?

How long, how long?

Rock yourself to sleep.

(Ooh, Ev'rybody feels alright, you know I've heard some poor fool say.

somebody.) Ev'ryone is out there on the loose.

Well, I wish I lived in the land of fools

and no one knew my name.

But what you get is not quite what you choose.

Tell me how long, how long,

woman, will you weep?

How long, how long?

Rock yourself to sleep.

How long, how

long? The muddy river runs so deep.

How long, how

long? Goodnight, baby, rock yourself to sleep.

tight, baby, rock yourself

Bbbbyebye, baby, rock yourself to sleep.
