12 Hours It Takes Sometimes

You may be far from me
But I don't need you any less
It may be cold in your bed
But you know my love is warm
With new rules it is hard
When you can't ask anyone
Who survived the distance test
And has still got strength and love

We'll be here for 30 years or maybe more
You don't have to worry that I don't have time
Let's find a way to meet in the middle of
Somewhere finer in our own time when we can

We try to hold our heads
Above the water line
At times it's hard not to rise
To the shit you have to take
We'll hold our tongues and we'll wait
Until our feet will fit their shoes
And learn to make the choices that
All the others never made

We'll be here for 30 years or maybe more
You don't have to worry that I don't have time
Let's find a way to meet in the middle of
Somewhere finer in our own time when we can
