Life Is Long Lyrics

LIFE IS LONG
(by David Byrne & Brian Eno)

Ev'rybody says
That the living is easy
I can barely see
Cause my head's in the way
Tigers walk behind me
They are to remind me that
I am lost
But I'm not afraid

Soul to soul
A kiss and a sigh
Sawed in half
By the passage of time
Halfway home
From a window you see
Chains and bars
But I am still free

People on the outside
I remember sweet times
This old rose
Is always in bloom
Ev'ryone is happy
To be a baby daddy
Stone love
With nothing to lose
Life is long
If you give it a way
So stay, don't go
Cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul
Between you and me
Chain me down
But I am still free
Now I can say
Those three little words
And ev'ry day
I'm dreaming a world
Soul to soul
A kiss and a sigh
Holding back
The waters outside

Life is long
If you give it a way
So stay, don't go
Cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul
Between you and me
Chain me down
But I am still free
