How Long Lyrics by Wild Strawberries
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Gunther told me it would take one weekI knew for sure that he was lyingHow longWell I went to see my doctorOnly she was crying twice as much as meHow longThey say suicide is painlessBut I'd like to disagreeI've watched my country cut her veinsI've seen her civilized o.d.And Thomas More he signals meWith foreign wars and razor-bladesAll I can say is how longHow longForgive me this intrusionYou're my only consolationAs my people cry with me how longI don't mean to be exploitiveBut my God I know you're listeningAnd I know that you are crying here with meWhen the vicar shot the strangerWe assumed his good intentionsWhen the stranger shotWe pronounced him deadThere's a part of me that's emptyWhen the world has stopped its shakingThere's a part of me that wants it all to end
