How Long Lyrics - Wild Strawberries

Gunther told me it would take one week 

I knew for sure that he was lying 

How long? 

Well, I went to see my doctor 

Only she was crying twice as much as me 

How long? 

They say suicide is painless 

But I'd like to disagree 

I've watched my country cut her veins 

I've seen her civilized OD 

And Thomas More, he signals me 

With foreign wars and razor blades 

All I can say is how long? 

How long? 

Forgive me this intrusion 

You're my only consolation 

As my people cry with me 

How long? 

I don't mean to be exploitive 

But my God, I know You're listening 

And I know that You are crying here with me 

They say suicide is painless 

But I'd like to disagree 

I've watched my country cut her veins 

I've seen her civilized OD 

And Thomas More, he signals me 

With foreign wars and razor blades 

All I can say is how long? 

How long? 

When the vicar shot the stranger 

We assumed his good intentions 

When the stranger shot 

We pronounced him dead 

There's a part of me that's empty 

When the world has stopped it's shaking 

There's a part of me that wants it all to end 

They say suicide is painless 

But I'd like to disagree 

I've watched my country cut her veins 

I've seen her civilized OD 

And Thomas More, he signals me 

With foreign wars and razor blades 

All I can say is how long? 

They say suicide is painless 

But I'd like to disagree 

I've watched my country cut her veins 

I've seen her civilized OD 

And Thomas More, he signals me 

With foreign wars and razor blades 

All I can say is how long? 

How long?
