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
