Make Do and Mend - Don't Be Long lyrics

Maybe we lost our place and all I need to say is, "Come and find me like an old crease in the page." I'm figuring it's too late, but I'll ask you just the same what it pays to keep yourself so far away. You keep yourself so far away. Don't be long, don't be long. Every time I see you I still hear my favorite song play on and on. Don't be long, don't be long, because if there's any part of this that you still need, I need you now to prove me wrong. Don't be long, don't be long. Every time I see you I still hear my favorite song play on and on, and even through the muck and the mire I still love you like a house on fire.
