Long Time Leavin by Rare Earth Lyrics

[Chorus]
Long time leavin'
Long time gone
I've been a long time leavin'
But I'll be a long time gone

[Verse 1]
It wasn't you, it wasn't me
So tell me how it came to be
Our dreams decayed
How two in love so much could hate
So how they came to desecrate
The vows they made

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I tried so hard
But there's just nothing left to save
Well I've tried so hard
But we're just living in a grave

[Chorus]
I've been a long time leavin'
But I'll bе a long time gone
[Verse 2]
Don't cry becausе our day is dead
The night I slain her in her bed
For what she was
Though ours was just the smallest phrase
In love's eternal song of praise
She died for us

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I've tried so hard
But there's just nothing left to save
Well I've tried so hard
But we're just living in a grave

[Chorus]
I've been a long time leavin'
But I'll be a long time gone
Away, yeah

[Verse 3]
Your tears we cry that some are strong
That covered up the smiles so long
That was my son
I've watched them fall, the sadness lost
The coins in which we pay the cost
For all we've done
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I've tried so hard
But there's just nothing left to save
Well I've tried so hard
But we're just living in a grave

[Chorus]
I've been a long time leavin'
But I'll be a long time gone
I've been a long time leavin'
But I'll be a long time gone

[Outro]
Searchin' for my dream
