They came and took us from our beds
I didn't know what was happening
I was 8 years old
I couldn't even say goodbye
I was told that there was not much time
As we stepped into the cold
Till we were long gone
Till we were long gone
Till we were
They marched us down the road
Further from my home
I stepped onto that plane
Sat down and saw your face
That's how 11 years go by
Honey I won't leave you here
Honey I won't leave this place
Until we're both long gone
Till we're both long gone
Till we're both long gone
Till we are
They tried to get inside my mind
But my heart is where I draw the line
My love
I didn't understand their words
So they took me out, put me to work
But I saw your face
That's how 11 years go by
Picturing those quiet smiles
My dear
That's how 11 years go by
Picturing a quiet life
My dear
(Oooh-ooooh-oooh-oohhh)
(Oooh-ooooh-oooh-oohhh)
(Oooh-ooooh-oooh-oohhh)
My dear
Honey I won't leave you here
Honey I won't leave this place
Until we're both long gone
Just a little while longer my dear
Know that I will always be here
Once we both long gone
Till we're both long gone
Till we're both long gone
Till we are
Till we're both long gone
Till we're both long gone
Till we are
Till we're both long gone
Till we're both long gone
Till we are
Till we're both long gone
Till we're both long gone
Till we are
