How Long Will It Take? (Song 0002) - THE LOST CONNECTION: The Words And Music Of

These are the lyrics to a song that was on 'Part 1' of 'The Best Of The Lost Connection (2011 - 2019)'

I thought I'd clasped my sense of direction
And I thought the wind was on my side
The compass had been offered, I chose to accept
Offered as a present, but when it was unwrapped

It wasn't what I expected
But this gift I couldn't refuse
You may say it has no point, for now it has no bearing
I'll settle for no direction except for this life I'm sharing.

How long will it take 'til we intimately speak?
How long will it take 'til we're alone in the weak?
How long will it take for the body to break free?
How long will it take? Will it take? Will it take?

My self commitments have been close to this day
But now it's time to let the roam free
To give me more time and allow room for change
But I find this room I'm in is really kind of strange

I don't want to be negative
Because hopeful signs are there
If I let this chance go by I'll never be the same
I'll regard it as a mistake with only myself to blame

I'm relying on time to take it's course
I'm allowing the time it takes
I value her presence when I'm with her each day
But a compass with no needle - the future's hard to say.

Will my patience fail me? It's a limited resource
Will I repair the compass or maybe just replace?
One likes to keep moving and time is standing still…
Either I go alone, or break the magnetic field.

How long will it take? How long will it take?
How long will it take? How long will it take?
How long will it take? How long will it take?
How long will it take? Will it take? Will it take?
