Текст песни How Long - The James Hunter Six

My baby, took a powder, on one fine September day
My crying grew louder as her footsteps faded away
In her wake lay shattered fragments
Of the smile I used to wear

How long would it take
For my whole heart to repair

I made peace (how long) with my bookmaker (how long)
Just to turn (how long) my luck around (how long)
My heart shot (how long) out the back way (how long)
There still trying to track her down

My money's gone (how long) the same way (how long)
And I haven't (how long) got a prayer (how long)

How long (how long)
Will it take (will it take)
For my whole heart to repair

(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(Mmm)

(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long will it take)
(For heart to repair)

Well I climbed (how long) that golden stairway (how long)
And I hammered (how long) on the gate (how long)
A heavenly (how long) voice called out (how long) to me
After half an hours wait

Said we got (how long) no room for your kind (how long)
Why don't you try (how long) your luck downstairs (how long)

How long (how long)
Will it take (will it take)
For my whole heart to repair

(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
(How long)
