Lyrics
Long Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's sitting by the overcoat
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away
And also
Reach, she said, for no one else but you
'Cause you won't turn away
When someone else is gone
I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I'm so terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away
Hey, It's me
Yeah well I can't get myself to go away
Hey, It's me
And I can't get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldn't feel this way now
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right
And no, Lord, Your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right
Well I'm surprised that you believe
In anything that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And you're so set in life man
A pisser they're waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right
And no, Lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right
Oh, ain't that right
Hey, It's me
Yeah, well I can't get myself to go away
Yeah, It's me
Yeah and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God, I shouldn't feel this way now
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right
And no, Lord, Your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right
Reach down your hand in your pocket, well
Reach down your hand right now
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right
And no, Lord, Your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right
