It's such a shame I just can't relax Tie my fingers behind my back Running away, so it goes I come back home before you know Leave it on the side A simple problem is taking hold It runs the days but keeps me slow Oh I'm sure that I'll come back to you Would you take me when I do? Leave it on the side So give me long days when the summer is dead and gone And give me short waves where the world does me no harm I want long days Long days I want long days Long days Leave it on the side
