The Long Con

It's a long con It's a slow game And you keep that love On a low flame Keep your eyes On that jewel Time will be your friend If you can play this cool It's a long way To the sweet place Where love and trust Fall like grace Comes a time It's not yet Trust the simple feeling You can't forget How she moves How she smiles The laughter in her voice This is not your choice It's not the time To show your hand Keep your distance Know the plan It's a long con It's a slow game And you know why You're still playing Look ahead Look away Know the power in everything You never say How she moves How she smiles The laughter in her voice But this is not your choice It's not the time To play your hand Know your heart Know the plan It's a long con It's a long con It's a long con
