Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Sorry To Be So Long

Sorry to be so long

Just didn’t have the time

Haven’t been into the town

Somebody put me down

Sorry to be so long.

Can’t even put pen to paper

Not even if I try

Everything’s bound to come sooner or later

Do you think I’d lie?

Sorry to be so late

Somebody locked me in

Guess it’s all down to fate

Sit back and let them wait

Sorry to be so late.

Can’t even put pen to paper

Not even if I try

Everything’s bound to come sooner or later

Do you think I’d lie?

Sorry to take your time

Should have my own to lend

I’ve got to get you over my line

Just want to make you my friend

And I’m sorry to take your time.

Can’t even put pen to paper

Not even if I try – and I have tried

Everything’s bound to come sooner or later

Do you think I’d lie? Sorry to be so long

Just didn’t have the time

Haven’t been into the town

You know, somebody put me down

And I’m sorry to be so long.

Can’t even put pen to paper

Not even if I try

Everything’s bound to come sooner or later

Do you think I’d lie?
