Lying, a dreamer dreaming beside me

The city sirens keep me awake

And I know I'll see you again in the long run

People, they tell me I should be careful

That you'll worry and I'm already miles away

But I know I'll see you again in the long run

And I know I'll meet you again in the long run

But we can't be lovers 'cause I'm still afraid

Of leaving the things I love dearly

I wander, I roam, I write home to tell you

That I'm sorry, I won't leave it this late again

But I know I'll see you again in the long run

And I know I'll meet you again in the long run

But I can't be married, you'll take me away

From everything that I love dearly

And we can't be lovers

You'll take me away from my home

My home

My home

But I know I'll see you again in the long run
