Leavin's Been Comin'

It's never over 'til it's really over
And someone's left standing behind
It goes without sayin'
It's too late for stayin'
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time
Chorus:
I packed up my suitcase and started my pickup
So many times in my mind
It's a hard road to travel
From blacktop to gravel
And the next hill is the hardest to climb
I've got all the answers for most of the questions
And some ain't been easy to find
There's no more erasin'
The things i've been facin'
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time
Chorus
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time

Long Time Gone

by Bob Dylan
My parents raised me tenderly,
I was their only son.
My mind got mixed with ramblin'
When I was all so young,
And I left my home the first time
When I was twelve and one.
I'm a long time a-comin', Maw,
An' I'll be a long time gone.
On the western side of Texas,
On the Texas plains,
I tried to find a job o'work
But they said I's young of age.
My eyes they burned when I heard,
"Go home where you belong!"
I'm a long time a-comin',
An' I'll be a long time gone.
I remember when I's ramblin'
Around with the carnival trains,
Different towns, different people,
Somehow they're all the same.
I remember children's faces best,
I remember travelin' on.
I'm a long time a-comin',
I'll be a long time gone.
I once loved a fair young maid
An' I ain't too big to tell,
If she broke my heart a single time,
She broke it ten or twelve.
I walked and talked all by myself,
I did not tell no one.
I'm a long time a-comin', babe,
An' I'll be a long time gone.
Many times by the highwayside,
I tried to flag a ride.
With bloodshot eyes and gritting teeth,
I'd watch the cars roll by.
The empty air hung in my head
I's thinkin' all day long.
I'm a long time a-comin',
An' I'll be a long time gone.
You might see me on your crossroads
When I'm a-passin' through.
Remember me how you wished to
As I'm a-driftin' from your view.
I ain't got the time to think about it,
I got too much to get done.
Well, I'm a long time comin'
An' I'll be a long time gone.
If I can't help somebody
With a word or song,
If I can't show somebody
They are travelin' wrong.
But I know I ain't no prophet
An' I ain't no prophet's son.
I'm just a long time a-comin'
An' I'll be a long time gone.
So you can have your beauty,
It's skin deep and it only lies.
And you can have your youth,
It'll rot before your eyes.
Just give to me my gravestone
With it clearly carved upon:
"I's a long time a-comin',
An' I'll be a long time gone.

Alwasy Leaving, Always Gone

Dusty dreams of yesterday, of women in the snow
Always leavin' and always gone
Reachin' for the sparkle in the yello' afternoon
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
The image of the girl appears there, clearly upon my mind
Always leavin' and always gone
Lost among the promises of the days I'll never fi-ind
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
I could hide the pain inside me but what would I win
I would lose the right to live and turn the pain to si-i-i-in
So I'll find another way, some other words to sing
And whether you're stayin' or leavin' baby, I lose everythi-ing
Here I am, another day, just a wonderin' where I'm at
Always leavin' and always gone
You fall on my memory but I try to get you there
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one

Long Song Comin

Politician 'bout to make his speech
Signal for attention, please
Then he shuffled his notes
And wiped his sweating brow
I looked at my friend next to me
And we don't dare agree
Before this is over
We'll wish we woulda left right now
'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like he might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy
We got better things to listen to
Lady from a church bizarre
Was smiling from her head to her feet
All the way down to her feet
That she couldn't see
She started speeking her piece
I said "Stop, Wait a minute, please
Before you start talkin'
I wish you'd please listen to me."
'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And though some of the things you say might be true
It still sounds like a long song comin'
And baby, listen lady, I got better things to listen to
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like you might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to
Say, so it sounds like a long song comin'
And it sounds like some just might be true
Still it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to
And buddy, listen buddy, we got better things to listen to

Long Thin Dawn

That long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin on again
Ive seen the hills of frisco and the streets of montreal
In every town Ive been to Ive had someone to call
From winnipeg to edmonton, vancouver to st. paul
Ive had so many good friends I couldnt miss them all
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin on again
Last night I came to denver beneath the snow-capped ridge
I thought about my darlin as I stood beneath the bridge
And there were times I made her cry but I guess by now shes learned
That any time Ive wandered I always have returned
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin on again
Right now Im on a highway just east of omaha
Riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as bill
All the way to windsor, weve got some miles to kill
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin on again
While climbin up a hillside, bill drops er down a gear
And the engine sings so sweetly tis music to my ear
I tell him how I long to be just like him if I can
Drivin like the restless wind across this precious land
Says bill the air is clean tonight as he puffs a big cigar
And if this rig keeps rollin, my boy youll travel far
But when you are a trucker youll come to realize
The only thing a man can do is watch the world go by
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin on again
That long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin on again

(taura stinson/ craiyge lindesay)
I come home from work and have a glass of wine
Kick off my shoes and wait on you
Well its way past dawn and your still gone
Where in the world is my boo?
See I was fallin asleep and you were creeping in
I never would have noticed until when
Until I smelt perfume, the kind I do not wear
My babys been messin around again
Chorus:
You shouldnt have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby Im leavin Im leavin Im leavin
Leavin you
You shouldnt have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby Im leavin Im leavin Im leavin
Leavin you
How could I be so dumb? I thought I loved a man
But more and more you proved to be a boy
And now I understand
But I cant baby sit no more, its not what I loved you for
Id rather be alone bye-bye cos Im really leavin this time
Chorus
Look at you now begging down on your knees
Thinking Im coming back, oh child please
I said I was leavin I mean whet I say
Theres no turning around Im ieavin today
Chorus
No I cant baby sit no more, its not what I loved you for
Id rather be alone bye-bye cos Im really leavin this time

I'm Comin' Back

Baby I miss you so badly
You know that I love you madly
Can you forget all the pain
Let's try it again
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
Seems like yesterday
It was you and me
How did it slip away?
You are a part of me
You live in the heart of me
I never stopped loving you
And so
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
If the answer's "no"
I will understand
But it won't change my mind
You are the only one
And I am the lonely one
I'll never get over you
And so
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
Baby I miss you so badly
You know that I love you so madly
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
I'm comin' back

When Are You Coming Back?

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/ a. morris)
Chorus:
Tell me when youre coming back
When are you comin back, when are you coming back
When are you comin back, when are you coming back
(when are you comin home, baby, baby)
When are you comin back, when are you coming back
When are you comin back, when are you coming back
You were in my arms yesterday, and now youre gone
I still feel your lips on mine, still feel your touch
Safe inside your arms is where I want to be, cant stand this space
Boy, Im gettin lonely, and out of place
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Chorus
I sit here and wait patently for the telephone
Funny how I miss you, and I miss you so
When youre not at home
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Chorus x 2
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms

Coming From The Heart

by Bob Dylan and Helena Springs
We have got to come together
How long can we stay apart?
You may get it maybe never
But it's coming from the heart.
Your life is full of indecision
You can't make up your mind.
We must get it in position
And move it on down the line.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Make me up a bed of roses
And hang them down from the vine
Of all my loves you've been the closest
That's ever been on my mind.
Please don't talk about tomorrow
I'm really not one to care
This world is filled with too much sorrow
That nobody's heart should bear.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Please, please give me indication
Stop and talk to me
Like a river that is flowing
My love will never cease to be.
You will always be my honey
No one could take your part
Our love can't be bought with money
'Cause it's coming from the heart.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.

Road To Heaven

Been a long time
Since I've seen your face
You've been on my mind
Like a dream I can't erase
It's time for me to come home to you
I'm on the road to heaven

Comin' home to you
Been a long time
Since last time we made love
All the things we used to do baby
All the things that made me fall in love
I'm on the road to heaven
I'm on the road to heaven
I'm on the road to heaven

Its Been A Long Long Time

Its been a long time...
Since I held you tight.
Its been a long time...
Everyday in this fight.
Its been a long...long...time.

Its been a long time...
Since I've had a kiss.
Its been a long time...
You're pretty blue eyes I miss.
Its been a long...long...time.

Its been a long time...
This Iraqi tour.
Its been a long time...
I miss you so and more.
Its been a long...long...time.

Its been a long time...
Hot days with freezing nights.
Its been a long time...
Sunburned face, mosquito bites.
Its been a long...long...time.

Its been a long time...
Had a real bad day.
Its been a long time...
Lost some soldiers today.
Its been a long...long...time.

Its been a long time...
I suffer everyday.
Its been a long time...
For me to be away.
Its been a long...long...time.

Its been a long time...
For me to be alone.
Its been a long time...
No talking on the telephone.
Its been a long...long...time.

Its been a long time...
Since you heard me say...
Baby, my sweet darling...
I'm leaving Iraq today!

Making It Easy

(david smalley)
Just got into town on a midnight plane
After this is over Ill be leavin again
Somebody wants to put the pin on me
Shes sayin that its mine but I know that cant be
Makin it easy for me to be movin on
Makin it easy for me to be a long time gone
Met her at a job was a friday night
She was sittin in the front row lookin outta sight!
Sang my song to her all about romance
Oo we got together and she took a chance
Makin it easy for me to be movin on
Makin it easy for me tote a long time gone
Ya know I left that town, theyre all the same
I was doin all right till the letter came
She said, Im sorry, baby, but just the same
I got to find somebody to take the blame
Oh yeah
I said, whats this, babe, you know I got no time
To be worryin bout a problem that I know aint mine
Youve had too many lovers to know its me
You better find somebody else, I wanna be free
Makin it easy for me to be movin on
Makin it easy for me to be a long time gone

Always on the road playin your guitar.

Since You've Been Gone

You left...our home
Didnt see eye to eye
No matter how hard I try
I live...on my own
Still I don't seem to find
Any kind of peace of mind

And I'm still looking for you...
Have you seen my baby?
That's all I want to do...
Have you seen her lately?

Since you've been gone now

Gone so long now
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
My friends...at work
They tell me I should get away
Maybe take a holiday
They know...I hurt
Everyday, I get in late
Find it hard to concentrate

That's all I want to do...

Gone so long now
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
Can't sleep...don't eat
Sitting in a Smokey bar
Wondering where the hell you are
I watch...TV
Thrown away another day
Sitting in the Caf all day

Better Days

Hard times are fallin' on you
Even when you smile I see the hurt come through
And I know it feels like it's never gonna end
You say nothin's been right for a long time
And every step you take is an uphill climb
I see you're reachin' out
So let me tell you friend that

Better days are comin' around
I know you feel like
The whole world's gone and let you down but
Better days they're comin' for you
I know they will
'Cause I'll be right here makin' sure they do

And if your sky ain't lookin' the fairest
There ain't no reason to be embarrassed
Ain't nobody in the world ain't felt
The rain from time to time
And just when you think it's all over and done
The night get easier one by one
So take my hand and hold on tight
And soon you're gonna find that

Better days are comin' around
I know you feel like
The whole world's gone and let you down but
Better days they're comin' for you
I know they will
'Cause I'll be right here makin' sure they do

I know what it's like
To have to face the fight
But I won't let you stand alone

Im Coming Home Again

(roberts / bayer-sager)
Im not as crazy as I used to be
Some of my devils upped and left me free
To find a quiet space
Im not as out of place
Im not as lonely as I was before
I dont go in less theres an open door to leave by
Im starting to believe my own existence has a right to be
And Im comin home again
Its been too long a time
Gettin back whats mine
And I cant remember why I went away
But its lookin now like maybe I can stay
The poets cried for dreams they never saw
The only certainty is nothins sure
And most things stay the same
Or go back where they came
And though my answers still are undefined
By takin chances I can start to find some reasons
Somethin to believe in
I can make it through
I can make it through
And Im comin home again
Its been too long a time
Gettin back whats mine
And I cant remember why I went away
But its lookin now like maybe I can stay
Oh, and Im comin home again
Its been too long a time
Gettin back whats mine
And I cant remember why I went away
But its lookin now like maybe I can stay
