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
Until we were long gone
Until were long gone
Til 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
Just a little while longer by dear
Know that I will always be here
Until we're long gone
Until we were long gone
Until were long gone
Til we are
They tried to get inside my mind
But my heart is where I draw the line
I was 8 years old
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 gentle life
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 longer by dear
Know that I will always be here
Until we're both long gone
Until we're both long gone
Until we're both long gone
Until we areā¦
