Wrote the music track first, then sang over it with these words without any rewrites. Funny how some lyrics just come out without thinking...

How Long

Written Feb 2001 Copyright 2001 Russell W. Sonmore All Rights Reserved- 5:03 min

Walking this ‘ol fence it’s been such a long time
Feeling life again I can’t remember why
My heart closed the window to the outside
But your good laugh broke me down inside, hey
Hearing Morrison he’s singing on the radio,
Girl I think of you and I gotta know, hmm
Do you think of me when you close your eyes
Girl do you save all your laughs to warm my life
How long can I hold you
And how long can I walk right next to you
How long will your laughing hold
Oh my baby it’s what I need to know
I hear you laugh my mind’s a reeling
Girl knock me out and start my healing
Did you know I get up every day
Just to find out just what you might say
