Текст песни In the Long Long Run - Herman Dune

When I was six I saw a strange tree bearing a strange fruit
I saw a surfer he was riding a wave and he was wearing a wet suit
They say "Nature is just another miracle you're accustomed to"
And when I see you riding a bicycle I know it's true

And in the long long run
In the long long run
It was worth trying

I was a boy at a bar-mitzvah and I was losing my voice
The kids kept turning into men and they had no choice
They were through with playing video games and hide and seek
And they were reading in a new language they couldn't speak

And in the long long run
In the long long run
It was worth trying

And on the top of the hill there is an old man driving a tractor
He says when I was fifteen I thought that I wanted to be an actor
But I missed the fruit in the field in the valley so green
And the movies were dull on the other side of the screen

But in the long long run
In the long long run
It was worth trying

But in the long long run
In the long long run
It was worth trying

And in the city where you don't need a car and where you hate the train
You were trying to write a new song but you couldn't find a refrain
Some sounded too shallow and others too deep
You were sitting at your desk at night and you were falling asleep

But in the long long run
In the long long run
It was worth trying
In the long long run
In the long long run
It was worth trying
In the long long run
In the long long run
It was worth trying
