John Wesley Harding
Long Dead Gone
[Verse 1]
It's so easy to forgo, it's so hard to forget
It's so hard for to realise that I'm not dead yet
When everything that we wanted is beyond beyond
And all that I hoped for is long dead gone (Alright)
[Verse 2]
So how can I sleep in this memory bed
When I feel like a grave with a tomb for a bedhead?
With your name and my name carved deep in the stone
Now faded away 'cause we're long dead gone
[Chorus]
Well, we're long dead gone
Well, we're long dead gone, yeah
Now faded away because we're long dead gone
[Verse 3]
Love lies bewildered, checking its pulse
To see if it compares to anything else
Two things still beating, but never as one
And one thing lies choking 'cause it's long dead gone
[Chorus]
Well, it's long dead gone
Well, it's long dead gone, yeah
One thing lies choking 'cause it's long dead gone
[Bridge]
So here rests in pieces
Whatever it was that we could admit to
Whatever it was that was me and you
What was me and you, what was me and you, yeah
[Verse 4]
So why won't I just let it die and get rid
Of the truth that we both would've rather kept hid?
Better to live a lie than pretend that you're not
And live out a love which is long dead gone
[Chorus]
Well, we're long dead gone, yeah
Well, we're long dead gone, yeah
Don't live out a love which is long dead gone
Never live out a love which is long dead gone
Never live out a love which is long dead gone, yeah
