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 SHINING IN THE SUN - I'LL BE DOING FINE, AND THEN SOME

HOW LONG, HOW LONG - WOMAN WILL YOU WEEP?
HOW LONG, HOW LONG?
ROCK YOURSELF TO SLEEP

I'VE BEEN DOING TIME IN A LONESOME PRISON, WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE; 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 ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW I HEARD SOME POOR FOOL SAY
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

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?
GOOD NIGHT BABY, ROCK YOURSELF TO SLEEP
SLEEP TIGHT BABY, ROCK YOURSELF TO SLEEP
B-B-BYE BYE BABY, ROCK YOURSELF TO SLEEP
