Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
So let the time keep rollin' on
It's on my side
Lonely nights will soon be gone
High is the tide

Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
As the night time follows day I'm closing in
Every dog will have his day Any dog can win
Bridge
Shut the shade
Do not fear any more
Here I come creeping round
Your back door

Over and over just like a hammer inside
