From the recording One of These Days
Lyrics
I have been here for to long
I have done my time
All the things that I love
I am leaving behind
I am leaving behind
I don’t know how I’m gonna go
Or how it will be
I’m only afraid that you won’t be safe
After I leave
After I leave
And I know that we’ve been down this road
But I think this might be the end
They said time was on our side
Yeah but time has never been our friend
And love never stays no
Love always fades
I never wanted to see you get hurt
And so I’ll stay here while I can my dear
But time is a murderer
Oh yeah time is a murderer
I have been struggling
Suffocating
But before long
All of this will be gone
And I’ll finally be able to breath
Yeah I’ll finally be able to breath
And I’m sorry I got you into this
I guess I should’ve known
That one day it would all end this way
Please forgive me when I’m gone
Please forgive me when I’m gone
And I know that we’ve been down this road
But I think this might be the end
Well they said time was on our side
Yeah but time has never been our friend
And love never stays no
Love always fades
I never wanted to see you get hurt
And so I’ll stay here while I can my dear
But time is a murderer
And please tell our boys that I had no choice
Please tell them I put up a fight
That I’ve reaped what I’ve sown
But now I’m going home
I’ll be there by the morning light
Cause I’ve been working to survive
And we’re all just living to die
And death I know is natural
I just hate to say goodbye
I just hate to say goodbye
