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 knew
Won't ever come again
Well it seems too 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 too late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's too late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain
Mmm, 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 too long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long, yeah

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 too late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's too late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Mmm, 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 too long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long, yeah
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
