He sits in the in the dark by his favourite tree His mind is all in a haze of how things used to be She him so far but then had to let him go He wanted one chance at least to let her know
in the long run the heat grows cold And in the long run the young grow very, old

in the long run the story's told And in the long run the young grow very, old
She walks in the morning, it's best before It's that time of day that closest to heaven She finds herself dancing and singing out loud Songs from her suddenly come around
'cause in the run the farm gets sold And in the long run the young grow very, old

'cause in the long run the told And in the long run the grow very, very old
