{acoustic guitar intro}



It's over, well over

in my mind and in my heart.

It's over, well over,

but then again it didn't have a good start.



You tell me, try to sell me

it could have been all I asked.

It's over, well over

It's there and flows away

A distant past



Now it's a long dark road.

It's a long dark road.

And you know I loved you.

Yes you know I loved you.



{harmonica interlude}



Now it's a long (it's a long)

dark (very long) road (road, road)

Now it's a long (it's a long)

dark (very long) road (road, road)

And you know I loved you

Yes you know I loved you



It's over, well over,

and we can't revive what's past.

It's gone now, moved on now,

but then again it didn't have a chance to last.

No, no, no, a chance to last.



Now it's a long (it's a long)

dark (very long) road (road, road)

It's a long (it's a long)

dark (very long) road (road, road)

And you know I loved you.

Yes you know I loved you.

Now it's a long (it's a long)

dark (very long) road (road, road)

{fade out}

It's a long (it's a long)

dark (very long) road (road, road)

Now it's a long.....
