[Verse 1] You gave me the time I know what you said But every little minute now Moves heavy as lead I know you're coming I know you're fine But knowing doesn't make them move These stubborn hands of time [Pre-Chorus] I sit down I get back up I check that clock again I know exactly where it's going I just need it to get there [Chorus] How long? Till I hear that door How long? Till I don't count anymore How long? Till your arms are around me Right where I belong I know you're coming home So why does it take so long? [Post-Chorus] How long? How long? [Verse 2] Every engine on the street Makes me turn my head Headlights sweep across the window Maybe you... then gone again I check the time I know, I know It hasn't really been that long But every minute without you here Feels twice as slow [Pre-Chorus] You might make it home before then You might run a little late I know there can be reasons I don't want reasons I want you [Chorus] How long? Till I hear that door How long? Till I don't count anymore How long? Till your arms are around me Right where I belong I know you're coming home So why does it take so long? [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I don't need the road to hurry I don't need the world to bend I just need that door to open And your arms around me again [Clock Build] [Build] [Final Chorus] How long? Till I hear that door How long? Till I don't count anymore How long? Till your arms are around me Right where I belong I know you're coming home How long? How long? Why does it take so long? [Musical Outro] [Spoken Outro] Bruce... how long is this song gonna go on? You know I don't like that head-banging music you listen to.
