How Long - Aaron Booth

Climbed up a hill

And found another valley

Searched the plains with no end in sight

Marched the streets

And found another crossroad

Strolled a lane of fire escapes

How long

Till I hear my name called

Till I find the one song

Rolled on a train

And passed another station

A different name on the same sign

Rolled down a road

And passed another milestone

Happy birthday, the rent’s paid on time

How long

Till I hear my name called

Till I find the one song

Worked in my town

In the company of strangers

Selling daytime and buying nights

Marched the walk

Heard the talk

So much talking

How long

Till I hear my name called

Till I find the one song

That never tires being sung
