Consequently So Long

(album: Deliverin' - 1971)

It's been a long time a coming
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a coming
But now you've gone

Oh, look at me
Sitting staring at the rain
Knowing the days that we once new
Won't ever come again
Well it seems to strange to really be
So I pinch myself and I find
Oh, yeah, it's me

It's been a long time a coming
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a coming
But now you've gone

And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothing happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Oh, here I go
Walking down the street in time
Never knowing though I'm trying to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long

It's been a long time a coming
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a coming
But now you've gone

And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothing happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Oh, here I go
Walking down the street in time
Never knowing though I'm trying to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long

And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothing happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Oh, here I go
Walking down the street in time
Never knowing though I'm trying to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long

It's been a long time a coming
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a coming
But now you've gone
But now you've gone
But now you've gone
