[Verse 1]
I fall in the cutting room
Straight to the floor before the film is through
Every day in my head, that field of razor wire
Come a little closer, honey, and touch the fire

[Chorus]
How long do I have here with you?
The flowers that once were in bloom
Shadows

[Verse 2]
Heaven waits in the darkness of a room
And the shaking at the gates from here to Timbuktu
Cold front rolls in like a black balloon
And it sinks into your soul and you tell it what you knew

[Chorus]
How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
The flowers that once were in bloom
Are shadows

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
The mystery of the stars that fell from your eyes
Watch it as it burns like a signal fire
That mountain is tall and you know you'll have to climb
Put your arms around me and let's go for a ride

[Chorus]
How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
How long?
Before the shadows
