Albert Promenade - You Don't Get Long Lyrics

You don't get long
You'd better make honey while you can
When all goes wrong
You hold it in your hand
Away it slides and gone

You're gonna get to know that your time's up
Running from your lover one day
I'll see you falling under cloudy skies
There's something wrong, learning in the loop
That you gotta go home is a hard thing to do
When you feel it come over you
Now it's got you it's too late
You feel it in your bones
You have to play your hand when days are sunny
Now you got money, hope disease will leave you alone

You don't get long
You'd better make honey while you can
When all goes wrong
You hold it in your hand
Away it slides and gone

You'd better make a change while the going's good
Don't leave it for another day
Though your plan's gone wrong don't give it all away
'Cos the stars that shine, the rivers and the sea
They all have to go home, waves crashing on the shore
What do you gain from pennies on your eyes?
And does the band keep playing all night?
Understand the tide is flowing, just go where it's going
And the time and place will be right

You don't get long
But is it really time to go?
'Cos life goes on
And how we'd like to know
Where younger days have gone

You don't get long
You'd better make honey while you can
When all goes wrong
You hold it in your hand
Away it slides and gone
