Long Dead Gone - John Wesley Harding

It's so easly to forgo so hard to forget

So hard for to realise that I'm not dead yet

When everything that we wanted is beyond beyond

And all that I hoped for is long dead gone

So how can I sleep in this memory bed

Where I feel like a grave with a tomb for a bedhead

With your name and my name carved deep in the stone

Now faded away 'cos were long dead gone

Were long dead gone long dead gone

Now faded away because were long dead gone

And love lies bewildered checking it's pulse

To see if it compares to anything else

And two things still beating but never as one

And one thing lies choking 'cos it's long dead gone

'Cos it's long dead gone

'Cos it's long dead gone

And one thing lies choking 'cos it's long dead gone

So here rests in pieces

Whatever it was that we could admit to

Whatever it was that was me and you

Was me and you

Was me and you

So why won't I just let it die and get rid

Of the truth that we both wouldve rather kept hid

Better to live a lie than pretend that you're not

And to live out a love that is long dead gone

It's long dead gone

Well it's long dead gone

Don't live out a love which is long dead gone

Never live out a love that is long dead gone

Don't live out a love which is long dead gone
