I've always been a jailer
Holding longing like a thief
You never held me with a kiss
You held me during grief
Baby says I'm destiny
The owner of the land
But what's the point in what I make
If you won't hold my hand?
They say you like to listen
But mostly to yourself
You like to watch me from afar
Atop the lonely shelf
Long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a fine time
A simply divine time
Baby it's my time
I've always been a jailer
Holding longing like a thief
You never held me with a kiss
You held me during grief
Baby says I'm destiny
The owner of the land
But what's the point in what I make
If you won't hold my hand?
They say you like to listen
But mostly to yourself
You like to watch me from afar
Atop the lonely shelf
Long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a fine time
A simply divine time
Baby it's my time
I'm like a silent, sitting man
I'm like a silent, sitting man
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a fine time
A simply divine time
Baby it's my time
And like a silent, sitting man
I'll watch you from afar
Sitting on your lonely shelf
My heart sealed in your jar
