It Takes a Long Time
David Brewis (Field Music)
It takes a long time
And if you don’t get started now
It’s going to take a long time later
It takes a long time
And the feeling sticks around
Save your strength for when you need it later
The tension rising up
Is a warning
You can heed it
And still not stop
It takes a long time
And the ending slips away
You’ll wonder how it seemed so far later
It takes a long time
But in a week, a year from now
You’ll be glad you didn’t leave it later
The tension rising up
Is a warning
You can heed it
And still not stop
