Rare Earth - Long Time Leavin'

Текст песни

Long time leavin', long time gone
I’ve been a long time leavin'
But I’ll be a long time gone
It wasn’t you, it wasn’t me
So tell me how it came to be
Our dreams decayed
How two in love so much could hate
So how they came to desecrate
The vows they made
Now I tried so hard
But there’s just nothing left to save
Well I’ve tried so hard
But we’re just living in a grave
I’ve been a long time leavin'
But I’ll be a long time gone
Don’t cry because our day is dead
The night I slain her in her bed
For what she was
Though ours was just the smallest phase
In love’s eternal song of phrase
She died for us
Now I tried so hard
But there’s just nothing left to save
Well I’ve tried so hard
But we’re just living in a grave
I’ve been a long time leavin'
But I’ll be a long time gone
Away
Your tears we cry that some are strong
That covered up the smiles so long
That was my son
I’ve watched them fall, the sadness lost
The coins in which we pay the cost
For all we’ve done
Well I tried so hard
But there’s just nothing left to save
Well I’ve tried so hard
But we’re just living in a grave
I’ve been a long time leavin'
But I’ll be a long time gone
I’ve been a long time leavin'
But I’ll be a long time gone
Searchin' for my dream
My dream
Dream…
