Too Long Gone

(album: Better Times - 1992)

Maybe it's a road I've gotta travel
But baby sometimes I'm running blind
You know it's hard to find the answer
When I'm always one step behind

And as sure as the sun casts a shadow
And that big ol' moon's gonna rise
I'll keep leaving and returning
Only to find I'm one step behind

Ooh...
And I'm too long gone tonight

How many dreams have been discarded
So many promises have gone cold
And while everybodies' future is getting clearer
I just can't seem to find my way home

Too long gone tonight
With every waking moment
Too long gone tonight
And only you can save me
I'm too long gone

I have counted my good fortunes
I've tasted bitter loss
I been hell bent on destruction
Oh, I've held that silver cross

And there was nothing in the ashes
Of every bridge I've burned
Just another false hope
For every stone unturned

And tonight as I hang suspended
And tonight I will surrender

Too long gone tonight
With every waking moment
Too long gone tonight
And only you can save me

Maybe it's a road I've gotta travel
But baby sometimes I'm running blind
You know it's hard to find the answer
When I'm always one step behind

Ooh...
Now I'm too long gone tonight

I have counted my good fortunes
I have tasted bitter loss
I been hell bent on destruction
I have held that silver cross

And tonight as I hang suspended
And tonight I will surrender

Too long gone tonight
With every waking moment
Too long gone
And only you can save me
I'm too long gone

Too long gone tonight
So take me now and hold me
Cos' I'm too long gone
I'm too long gone tonight
And only you can save me
