It won't be long   It won't be long   It won't be long      How slow and slow and slow it goes   To mend the tear that always shows   It won't be long   It won't be long      It's hard enough losing the paper illusion you've hidden inside   Without the confusion of finding   You're using the crutch of a lie   To shelter your pride when you cry      Round, round, round we spin   To weave a wall to hem us in   It won't be long   It won't be long      How slow and slow and slow it goes   To mend the tear that always shows   It won't be long   It won't be long      You're moving too slow wherever you go, there's another beside   It's so hard to say no to yourself   And it shows that you're losing inside   When you step on your pride and you cry      Round, round, round we spin   To weave a wall to hem us in   It won't be long   It won't be long      How slow and slow and slow it goes   To mend the tear that always shows   It won't be long      How the hours will bend through the time that you spend   'Til you turn to your eyes, and you see your best friend   Looking over the end... And you turn to see why   And he looks in your eyes and he cries      Round, round, round we spin   To weave a wall to hem us in   It won't be long   It won't be long      How slow and slow and slow it goes   To mend the tear that always shows   It won't be long   It won't be long   It won't be long
