Long Gone Songtext
von Benjamin Tod

And you don′t want none, lady of what I've got to share
I′ve got flesh between my teeth from livin' in a snare
The more I bite and struggle, oh, the less I'd like to care
That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair
That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair

And I′m long, long gone
Ain′t a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love


And you don′t want none, lady, oh, take it from me
The charm that I give you was anything, but free
It'll cost you years and many tears, and it′s not yours to keep
I poison everything I touch like nothin' else that breathes
I poison everything I touch like nothin′ else that breathes

And I'm long, long gone
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain′t a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love

And you don′t want none, lady, oh, I can't be your man
I live deep in a holler between the holy and the damned
And the only thing that keeps the peace are the voices in my head
And Lord, I pray that someday I′ll find the time to wed
And Lord, I pray that someday I'll find the time to wed

And I′m long, long gone
Ain't a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain′t a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love
