lyrics

I close my eyes in the silence
I cover my ears in the dark
I cover my head with a blanket
'Cos the air on my skin is too sharp
No I don't need intervention
To medicate or bandage my heart
I'll wait in line for Old Doctor Time
Wait for the healing to start

The short and the long
The short and the long
Where do I stand, in the short and the long?

Though my body is cold
The clear blue morning night
Fills my bones
And washes my walls to white
I left my money and home
and all accounted wealth
To find my song
To measure myself

In the short and the long
The short and the long
Where do I stand, in the short and the long?

It's finally quiet,
No rising alarm,
After the riot
A moment of calm
That's where you'll find me
Where I belong
Barefoot and dry, with glass to the sky
On the banks of The Short and the Long

So, My Darling I'll miss you
And your warm embrace
But you know when I kiss you
You will see in my face
The fear of being a lover,
A wife, a plus one
It's a need to discover
Life, in the Short and the Long

The Short and the Long
The Short and the Long
Where do I stand, in the Short and the Long?
The Short and the Long
The Short and the Long
That's where you'll find me, in the short and the Long
