How long will I wait for you?
How long?
How long?
How long will I wait for you?
How long?
How long?

While the world is sleeping
Me and the night watchman
Know our hearts will ache at dawn

You were my black cat
I've been unlucky
Since you've gone

You pull like the moon now
Too strong
Too strong
You pull like the moon now
Too strong
Too strong
And I know the fear of every lion tamer
Who knows one day it will all go wrong

You were my black cat
I've been unlucky
Since you've gone

How long must I wait for you?
How long?
How long?
How long must I wait for you?
How long?
How long?
While all the world is sleeping
Me and the night watchman
Know our hearts will ache at dawn

You were my black cat
I've been unlucky
Since you've gone

You were my black cat
I've been unlucky
Since you've gone
