Real Long Time

Ooh, wrote the letter in blood red ink To paint the picture, I was trying to get done with the deed You get what you give, and you give nothing less So I rode to the city waiting on the bus to come and take us So I guess it doesn't matter, how you take it Take it, yeah Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time But not forever Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time Well I was sitting on a park bench out in the heat Couldn't get myself to even look away from my feet Thinking the story's complete To get two heads, we'll rock, could all but give Two eyes, full, dark, and gleaming Here's the thing I think the old time I was dreaming Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time But not forever Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time Take it in your stride, take it in your stride, you don't have to cry Take it in your stride, and you won't have to hide away Wait a long time, real long time, real long time I still think we're all OK How come what you want and what you get Always seem to be two different things? Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time Not forever Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time Yeah, yeah
