about

I know at some point I need to just go with a simple voice and instrument like an Amish person, 'cause its a gift to be simple, but I can't help doing all this stuff for right now.

lyrics

In the Long Run
Music and Lyrics by Michael Alan Silverstone 11/19/11 ©2011 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing/ASCAP

In the short run
we can have whatever we want
and be fully satisfied ourselves with our thoughts
and never mind that we don’t know what’s
been lost. . .

In the short run
we may be falling as we rise through the air
and never see what is exceedingly rare
but as you know
no one has said life was fair

Sweet dreams so easily
come to me now, come to me now
I know your eyes, sometimes
inside of my mind
And I feel you here right now
come to me now, come to me now
There’s nothing more I’ve ever
needed to know—oh-oh.

In the long run
these few seeds are all we will sow
and it takes time for us to finally know
what will be left behind
that lasts when we go. . .

In the long run
we won’t stand to be all alone
and won’t always feel the same
‘cause I know
there’s more than substance
to our skin and our bones

Sweet dreams, so easily
come to me now, come to me now
I know your eyes, sometimes
inside of my mind
And I feel you here right now
come to me now, come to me now
There’s nothing more
that I’ve needed to know—oh-oh.
In the long run. . .
In the long run. . .
In the long run. . .
In the long run. . .
