How long?

Shadows loom on the periphery

And you know in your heart you don't belong

A sense of unease grips you to the core

Almost overpowering so damn strong

You can almost feel the breath on your shoulder

Of the unanticipated guest who's come along

And the clock on the wall tells no time and makes no sound

It has no hands turning round and round, how long

How long living in a place where you have no place, how long

How long trying to make a home feeling all alone, how long

No-one can say how long but if you can just hold on
