How Long Lyrics


How does it make you feel when I say love is a battlefield?
Impartially concealed under heavy sword and shield
A casualty revealed, someone's wish fulfilled.
I'm breathing fire (Is my heart still beating?)
Mindless desire (I'm still unbelieving)
I'm breathing fire (Is my heart still beating?)
Mindless desire (How long have you been leaving?)
Hey, how long have you been leaving?
Somewhere along the way, I hoped you'd stay
You try to bear the blame, but something changed
You call it loud and clear, compel wounds to heal
I'm breathing fire (Is my heart still beating?)
Mindless desire (I'm still unbelieving)
I'm breathing fire (Is my heart still beating?)
Mindless desire (How long have you been leaving?)
Hey, how long have you been leaving?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Nehemiah Curtis "Skip" James (June 21, 1902 – October 3, 1969) was an American blues singer, guitarist, pianist and songwriter. Early years James was born near Bentonia, Mississippi. As a youth, he heard local musicians such as Henry Stuckey and brothers Charlie and Jesse Sims and began playing the organ in his teens. He worked on road construction and levee-building crews in his native Mississippi in the early 1920s, and wrote what is perhaps his earliest song, "Illinois Blues", about his experiences as a laborer.
