Lyrics Willy Mason

Willy Mason

So Long

I wrote to you last night

Because I couldn't sleep

My conscience felt the paradox

Of law between the sheets

When I woke up this morning

I knew I had a song to sing

But I'm too scared to sing it now

There's no time for daydreams

I camped out on the floor

Of a university

I saw kids running so, so fast

That they could barely see

Bars across my window

For a mild safety

Is this really where

Where I want to be?

So long

So long

I'll be movin'

Movin' on

So long

So long

I'll be movin' on

Dirty, dirty feet

From the concert in the grass

I wanted to believe

That freedom there could last

Sixteen eyes now watch me

For the choice I'm bound to make

Their doubts threatens to draw me

From the path I'm bound to take

Do you remember when we were young?

And we could name all the things we ran from?

What are your shadows hiding now?

When anxiety's a nightmare

Which hero is gonna come around?

Well, I'll come around

If you'll come around
