IT TAKES SO LONG (Pete Ham)
[unreleased piano demo from "Someday We'll Be Known" bootleg CD]

I can be faithful, I can be bad

I can be most things that you’ve ever had

Listen my dear

If it’s making you sad, then I’ll play

I can be lonely, I can be free

I can be most things that you’ll ever see

Glistened in love

When you shine over me, then I’ll stay

It takes so long to know what is real

Is it so wrong to play what you feel?

It takes so long to know if you’ll feel

Is it so wrong to play what you feel?
