Текст песни This Is Gonna Be A Long Year - Kasey Chambers

Something's started and something's ended
It's the hearts that break if left unattended
I am not so easily offended
If it's broken then I guess it can't be mended
It's the wives that aim between the eyes
And then shoot to kill a wolf that cries again
But I'm okay with second prize this time
These are the days when the noise is hard to hear
These are the days when it all can disappear
And you know babe, it is the only thing that's clear
This is gonna be a long year
God knows it's not the only place to keep it
Hell, it's better than sitting around listening to someone tell us
That Jesus died but you know that Elvis
Is alive and well and living in a cheap hotel
It's the love that's lost and the fingers crossed
You know that nothing comes without a cost
But God it's hard to turn it off this time
These are the days when the noise is hard to hear
These are the days when it all can disappear
And you know babe, it is the only thing that's clear
This is gonna be a long year
It's the chump who says he'll always make it
It's the wounded who can says, no, he can take it
But am I smart enough to not mistake it
For the undermined that are overrated
It's the best of luck if you come unstuck
But you better be sure you wanna give it up
'Cause nobody here really gives a fuck this time
These are the days when the noise is hard to hear
These are the days when it all can disappear
And you know babe, it is the only thing that's clear
This is gonna be
Yeah, this is gonna be a long year
This is gonna be a long year baby
For the hearts and souls with the holes and maybe
We can take a breath and we can wish them well
While we wait here for that mission bell
To bring and sing it out with open ears
And you can wash your skin with all the tears
And scream hallelujah till it's all you hear
'Cause it's gonna be a long, long year
Long, long year
Long, long year
Long, long year
Long, long year
Long, long year
Long, long year
Oh, oh, this is gonna be a long
This is gonna be a long, long year
Long, long year
Long, long year
Long, long year
Long, long, long, long, long year
