[Verse 1]
Before too long
The one that you're loving will wish that he'd never met you
Before too long
He who is nothing will suddenly come into view

[Chorus]
So let the time keep rolling on
It's on my side
Lonely nights will soon be gone
High is the tide

[Verse 2]
Before too long
We'll be together and no-one will tear us apart
Before too long
The words will be spoken, I know all the action by heart

[Chorus]
As the night-time follows day
I'm closing in
Every dog will have his day
Any dog can win

[Bridge]
Shut the shade, do not fear anymore
Here I come, creeping 'round your back door
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Before too long (Before too long)
I'll be repeating what's happened before in my mind
Before too long (Before too long)
Over and over, just like a hammer inside

[Chorus]
As the night-time follows day
I'm closing in
Every dog will have his day
Any dog can win

[Outro]
Before too long (Before too long)
Before too long (Before too long)
