So
Long Blues
from
Never Let Me Down
Hang
me oh hang me
Cover up my eyes
Put me on the southbound train
Where the moon don't rise
Carry me to the other side,
my race is almost run
Let me out upon a pallet,
feet turned toward the sun
So long, so long
I'll be laying here so long.
Liyin here so cold and white,
I did not look my best
Wrapped up in a linen sheet
Hands across my chest.
Eyes are pressed so tightly closed,
lips are sealed just so
Lying here so patiently,
soon its time to go
So long, so long
I'll be laying here so long.
How long is this journey?
How long is this ride?
How long will I have to wait
til I get to the other side?
One thing that I know is true
I'll be laying here, just as long
as you.
So long, so long
I'll be laying here so long.
If I were a gambler
A cheater and a thief
I'd be laying here for eternity,
expecting no relief
If I did not lie or steal,
but told the truth instead
I'd still end up cold and stiff
one morning in my bed.
So long, so long
I'll
be laying here so long. |
