"Life is Long"

Ev'rybody says that the living is easy
I can barely see ‘cause my head's in the way
Tigers walk behind me - they are to remind me that
I'm lost - but I'm not afraid

Soul to soul - A kiss and a sigh
Sawed in half - by the passage of time
Halfway home - from a window you see
Chains and bars - but I am still free

People on the outside - I remember sweet times
This old rose - is always in bloom
Ev'rybody is happy - to be a baby daddy
Stone love - with nothing to lose

Life is long - if you give it a way
So stay, don't go - ‘cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul - between you and me
Chain me down - but I am still free

Now I can say - those three little words
And ev'ry day - I'm dreaming a world
Soul to soul - a kiss and a sigh
Holding back - the waters outside

Life is long - if you give it a way
So stay, don't go - ‘cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul - between you and me
Chain me down- but I am still free
