Sorry To Be So Long

(album: The Road To Ruin - 1970)

Sorry to be so long
Just didn't have the time
Haven't been into the town
Somebody put me down
Sorry to be so long

Can't even put pen to paper
Not even if I try
Everything's bound to come sooner or later
Do you think I'd lie?

Sorry to be so late
Somebody locked me in
Guess it's all down to fate
Sit back and let them wait
Sorry to be so late

Can't even put pen to paper
Not even if I try
Everything's bound to come sooner or later
Do you think I'd lie?
Sorry to take your time
Should have my own to lend
I've got to get you over my line
Just want to make you my friend
And I'm sorry to take your time

Can't even put pen to paper
Not even if I try – and I have tried
Everything's bound to come sooner or later
Do you think I'd lie? Sorry to be so long
Just didn't have the time
Haven't been into the town
You know, somebody put me down
And I'm sorry to be so long

Can't even put pen to paper
Not even if I try
Everything's bound to come sooner or later
Do you think I'd lie?
