I'm reaching out for you, I'm begging after school
In the long run, in the long

I saw my love and I took her down
Eighteen flowers and I'm back around
In the long run, in the long

Tell them bloody fingers flowing down the way
You will never linger, it's their own way, it's their own

God bless a dirty fool, God bless a girl like you
In the long run, in the long

I lost my way and I turned around
I found your smile drawn to be found
In the long run, in the long

Tell them bloody fingers flowing down the way
You will never linger, it's their own way, it's their own way

I'm reaching out for you
I'm reaching out for you
Eighteen flowers reach out, reaching
I'm reaching out for you
