Long Enough to Tell - Bill Mumy

The winds of october were shaking the trees

The carnival sky wouldn't sleep

The scattered remains of the losses and gains

Were enough to make anyone weep

The girls in tight jeans

Mostly middle aged teens

Tossed coins in the wishing well

I thought I might jump in

After I shed this skin

If I live long enough to tell

In the land of the free it's a mystery to me

Under tatters of blue white and red

The eagle's sharp claw has shredded the law

And replaced it with scorn now instead

All those dark bold faced lies looked us straight in the eyes

From the shysters with snake oils to sell

We need to repent and learn where it all went

If we live long enough to tell

We leveled that city in the dead of the night

From high in the sky our bombs fell

In the rubble and flames and the thousands of names

We were told that we did our job well

In the morning's bright glare I became well aware

Of how heaven turned into such hell

And I swore there and then it won't happen again

If I live long enough to tell

There's a man on the hill wearing worn out old boots

His children have marched off to war

His water's run dry

There's dust in his eye

And the banker is at his front door

His truck's out of gas

His head's bowed at mass

His wife has a secret to tell

Maybe someday she will when they settle the bill

If they live long enough to tell

I hear the fiddle and drum

But where's it coming from

It's beginning to feel like a dream

Put a kiss on my lips

Launch ten thousand ships

Convince me you're not what you seem

In my arms

In your bed

In my heart

In my head

I'm so sick only you make me well

I will stand by your side when there's no place to hide

If I live long enough to tell

I will stand by your side when there's no place to hide

If I live long enough to tell
