Wont Be Long For Now by The Steepwater Band Lyrics

I got a letter
Come to me by the mail
Read my girl was comin' home
And the journey would not fail
But a smile, did not cross my face
No magic stood my blood
My heart, it sank defenseless
And my mind's misunderstood

Doorbell, will be ringin' soon
Storm outside and stop
The fallen angel weakens me
Right down to my core
My father had no halo
I've possessed no joy
Painted with the evidence
She's a child and I'm the toy

And it won't be long
Yeah she's on her way
No it won't be long
Here comes my darkest day
[Solo]

Lord, have mercy
Give me the faith to deal
A little love and sympathy
For the girl who does not feel
And if this act of dignity
Should fall apart in vain
Well, I must remind myself
That the girl will never change

And it won't be long
Yeah she's on her way
No it won't be long
Here comes my darkest day

And it won't be long

And it won't be long
No it won't be long
Well it won't be long
No it won't be long
No it won't be long
No it won't be long
