Roy Harper - For Longer Than It Takes lyrics

when you're not even there

you fly me in my fleeting steps

towards the dreams we share

I'll be with you till the time itself

is overstretched and breaks

for I will be in love with you

for longer than it takes

I love myself as I love you

as time will surely tell

I love you better for the way

you love yourself as well

I'll be with you till time itself

is overstretched and breaks

for I will be in love with you

for longer than it takes

you don't know the times I've cried

the purest simple joy

I met a girl who took me in

I could never destroy

she feels my pleasures and my pains

she gives more than she's got

I'll never be worthy of that

no matter what

through all my barbed wire

through my fury's blackest hour

she bursts the bubbling rages

that built the ivory tower

through all my barriers

my anger and despair

I've got a friend to turn to and

she's always there
