How Long Lyrics

How Long lyrics

Callin' me up from a deep sleep dreamin'

Black cat keeps scratchin' at my back door

Cold chills are runnin' cross my shoulder

I've felt that ghost round here before



Somebody sittin' in my kitchen

Nobody else at home but me



I hear a voice keeps callin' my name

Lord, Lord will they ever let me be

Paid my dues for the road I've taken

Done my time for the things I've left behind



Contradictions cloudin' up my future

Wish that they would just let me see



How long will this thing keep hauntin'?

How long must I keep on runnin'?

How long will this devil keep callin' me?



How long will my eyes keep burnin'?

From the image of the world I'm leavin'

How long will this devil keep callin' me?



Stones sittin' right in my pathway

Take me down to the place I don't want to be



Lord my burden just gets so heavy

I wish I could take it and set it free, yeah

Tonight there's a cold moon risin'

Tonight that light is blindin'



How long will this thing keep hauntin'?

How long must I keep on runnin'?

How long will this devil keep callin' me?



How long will my eyes keep burnin'?

From the image of the world I'm leavin'

How long will this devil keep callin' me?



How long will this devil keep callin' me?

How long will this devil keep callin' me?
