Consequently So Long

It's been a long time a-comin' and I have to carry on It's been a long time a-comin', but now you're gone Oh, look at me sittin', starin' at the rain Knowin' the days that we once knew won't ever come again Well, it seems too strange to really be So I pinch myself and I find, ooh, yeah, it's me It's been a long time a-comin' and I have to carry on It's been a long time a-comin', but now you're gone And it's too late to turn back all the clocks in town It's too late to take the "X" from yesterday Now the die is cast, nothin' happens in the past So I think I'll take a walk out in the rain Hm, here I go, walkin' down the street in time Never knowin', though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme Just a while has now become too long Consequently, to you I can say, goodbye, so long, yeah It's been a long time a-comin' and I have to carry on It's been a long time a-comin', but now you're gone And it's too late to turn back all the clocks in town It's too late to take the "X" from yesterday Now the die is cast, nothin' happens in the past So I think I'll take a walk out in the rain Hm, here I go, walkin' down the street in time Never knowin', though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme Just a while has now become too long Consequently, to you I can say, goodbye, so long, yeah It's been a long time a-comin' and I have to carry on It's been a long time a-comin', but now you're gone But now you're gone But now you're gone
