Before too long
The one that you're lovin' will wish that he'd never met you
Before too long
He who is nothin' will suddenly come into view
So let the time keep rollin' on
It's on my side
Lonely nights will soon be gone
High is the tide

Before too long
We'll be together and no-one will tear us apart
Before too long
The words will be spoken I know all the action by heart
As the night time follows day I'm closing in
Every dog will have his day Any dog can win
Shut the shade
Do not fear any more
Here I come creeping round
Your back door

Before too long
I'll be repeating what's happened before in my mind
Before too long
Over and over just like a hammer inside
As the night time follows day I'm closing in
Every dog will have his day Any dog can win
