It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone
Oh, look at me
Sittin' starin' at the rain
Knowin' the days that we once new
Won't ever come again
Well it seems to strange to really be
So I pinch myself and I find
Oh, yeah, it's me
It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone
And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain
Oh, here I go
Walkin' down the street in time
Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long
It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone
And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain
Oh, here I go
Walkin' down the street in time
Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long
And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain
Oh, here I go
Walkin' down the street in time
Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long
It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone
But now you've gone
But now you've gone
