Won't somebody show me Shelter from the storm Everything is cold now All at once was warm One of us is crumbling While the other one is strong I don't need no psychic hotline To see what's going on I can tell where we went wrong Come lay down beside me While I sleep Leave your heart a mystery Spare me all of your lies The small town smiles This could take a while (This could take a while) This could take a while The long goodbye There's no explaining What's inside your head Trenches and barbed-wire Down the middle of the bed I should be holding you instead Come lay down beside me While I sleep Leave your heart a mystery Spare me all of your lives The small town smiles This could take a while (This could take a while) This could take a while The long goodbye The long goodbye (Can't you hear the sound?) (Of the walls falling down?) (Can't you hear the sound?) I could tell that we were wrong Come lay down beside me While I sleep Leave your heart a mystery Spare me all of your lives The small town smiles This could take a while (This could take a while) ohh Lay down beside me This could take a while So, it's time for the long goodbye Long goodbye, baby Yeah, yeah (goodbye)
