It'll Take A Long Time Lyrics - Sandy Denny

Oh, it's like a storm at sea 

And everything is lost 

And the fretful sailors calling out their woes 

As to the waves they're tossed 

Oh, they are all gentlemen 

And never will they know 

If there is a reason each of them 

Must go to join the cruel flow 

And it'll take a long, long time 

It'll take a long, long time 

It'll take a long, long time 

Oh, it'll take such a long, long time 

There is no need for rules 

There's no one to score the game 

And there is no body living in this town 

As even knows its name
