Long Gone (Buddy)

(albüm: Everything's Different Now - 1988)

So what if it's breaking my heart at the root
Something that could happen to anyone, I suppose
Never any comfort to get from the truth
From knowing the part of this person that no one knows
So we just cry
With hopelessness
We're making such a mess

It's long gone, buddy, now run and go after it
It's long gone, buddy, now run and go after it

It's not that I'm frightened of being alone
It's just that I know what a burden this grief can be
Everything happens for something, I know
Can't understand for the moment what this could mean
That love is gone
That love is blind
That love is so unkind

It's long gone, buddy, now run and go after it
It's long gone, buddy, now run and go after it

Nobody wants to be happier more than me
Nobody wants to be happier more than I do
But happiness
I must confess
I don't have

It's long gone, buddy, now run and go after it
It's long gone, buddy, now run and go after it
