The Longing (Demo) Lyrics

When I was a child, there was a lesson that I learned

When you play with fire, you're gonna get burned

Now the flames are getting higher, they're at the point of no return

And the longing is getting longer every day

Oh, the longing is getting longer

It would be wrong, girl, to go astray

But my weakness is getting stronger

Any longer, I can't keep myself away

Oh, the river of our love has cut a channel wide and deep

Got me crossing the floor, got me tossing in my sleep

Oh, I swear I'll give you up, but it's a promise I can't keep

Cause the longing is getting longer every day

Oh, the longing is getting longer

It would be wrong, girl, to go astray

But my weakness is getting stronger

Any longer, I can't keep myself away

Oh, the longing is getting longer

It would be wrong, girl, to go astray

And my weakness is getting stronger

Any longer, I can't keep myself away

Oh, the longing is getting longer

It would be wrong, girl, to go astray

But my weakness is getting stronger

Any longer, I can't keep myself away

Oh, the longing is getting longer

It would be wrong, girl, to go astray

But my weakness is getting stronger

Any longer, I can't keep myself away
