Long Dead Gone Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

It's so easily to forgo, it's so hard to forget 

It's so hard for to realize 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 bed head 

With your name and my name carved deep in the stone 

Now faded away 'cause we're long dead gone 

We're long dead gone, we're long dead gone, yeah 

Now faded away because we're long dead gone 

And love lies bewildered, checking its pulse 

To see if it compares to anything else 

And two things still beating but never as one 

But one thing lies choking 'cause it's long dead gone 

But it's long dead gone but it's long dead gone, yeah 

But one thing lies choking 'cause it's long dead gone 

So here rest in pieces 

Whatever it was that we could admit to 

Whatever it was that was me and you 

What was me and you, what was me and you, yeah 

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

Of the truth that we both would've rather kept hid 

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

And to live out a love which is long dead gone 

But we're long dead gone, yeah but we're long dead gone, yeah 

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

Never live out a love which is long dead gone 

Never live out a love which is long dead gone
