It Won't Be Long

Rachel Brooke


Down the line of the railroad track
You can see my breadcrumbs fall
It won’t be long before you sing my song
I drove out to the county line
Saw a star that was a bomb

It won’t be long before you sing my song
It won’t be long, long, long before you sing my song

Have you ever seen the galaxy, or the galaxy beyond?
Have you ever heard the coyotes yell
When your fire’s almost gone?

It won’t be long before you sing my song
It won’t be long, long, long before you sing my song

You prayed all day and cried all night long
Your sins are not absolved

It won’t be long before you sing my song
It won’t be long before you sing my song
