It'll Take A Long Time Lyrics

Sandy Denny It'll Take A Long Time

(By Sandy Denny. U.F.O. Music, Inc. (C) 1972)

 Oh it's like a storm at sea,
 And everything is lost
 And, the fretful sailors
 Calling out their woes,
 As to the waves they're tossed.

 Oh, they are all gentlemen,
 And never will they know
 If there is a reason each of them
 Must go,
 To join the cruel flow.

 And it'll take a long long time
 It'll take a long long time
 It'll take a long long time,
 Oh it'll take such a long long time.

 There is no need for rules,
 There's no one to score the game
 And there is no body
 Living in this town
 As even knows its name.

 And it'll take a long long time
 It'll take a long long time
 It'll take a long long time,
 Long long time.
