lyrics

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 that simple feeling
You can’t forget

How she moves
How she smiles
The laughter in her voice
But this is not your choice
It’s not the time
to show your hand
Keep a certain distance
Know the plan

It’s a long con
It’s a slow game
But you know why
You’re still playing
Take your time
Look away
Learn 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 show your hand
Trust your heart
Know the plan

It’s a long con
It’s a long con
