Eagles - How Long Lyrics

How Long
written: J.D. Souther
lead vocals: G. Frey and D. Henley

Like a bluebird with his heart removed
Lonely as a train
I've run just as far as I can run
If I never see the good old days
Shinin' in the sun
I'll be doin' fine and then some

How long, how long
Woman, will you weep?
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep

I've been doin' time in a lonesome prison
Where the sun don't shine
And just outside the freedom river runs
Out there in that shiny night
With bloodhounds on your mind
Don't you know it's the same sad situation

How long, how long
Woman, will you weep?
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep

Everybody feels alright
You know, I heard some poor fool say...
(Somebody oooh...)
Everyone is out there on the loose
Well, I wish I lived in the land of fools
And no one knew my name
But what you get is not quite what you choose

Tell me, how long, how long
Woman, will you weep?
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep

How long, how long
The muddy river runs so deep
How long, how long
Goodnight baby, rock yourself to sleep
Sleep tight, baby, rock yourself to sleep
B-b-b-bye bye, baby, rock yourself to sleep
