Lyrics

So Long

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.

How many years now of anticipating

I can't help hating the waiting and waiting

Believing that time will alleviate all I'll

Or in the long run create some asylum

I've heard all the brilliant advise

I learned that everything comes in a price and that the

Truth is harder

I was wrong

We're going to lose each other for so long

A sad waste, that bittersweet aftertaste

I don't want to face up the facts

I know the truth is harder, that right or wrong

We're going to lose each other for so long

Cause at the moment I'm boarding my plane

I don't know when I'll see you again

And our feelings may just fade away

I've been avoiding those questions, questions

There'll be a calmer time when everything's organized

Everything's simplified

No one persuading me to seek some prize that isn't

Found anywhere

Just karmic injustice here but who do you sue?

We're going to lose each other

We're going to lose each other

We're going to lose each other, so long

I hope we can handle the yearning and learning

'Cause we can't keep these wheels from tuning

It felt right that tender respite

Before the warm interlude drifted from sight

And now we lose each other, now we lose each other

We're going to lose each other for so long

So long

Cause at the moment I'm boarding my plane

I don't know when I'll see you again

And our feelings may just fade away

I've been avoiding those questions, questions

I've been avoiding those questions, questions

I've been avoiding those questions, questions

Questions, questions
