lyrics

I Long and Then I’m Gone


C Bm Am G Bm Am G (4x)
G C
I long for the jewel encrusted, exotic dreams within
G BmAm G
The clown fish, the angel fish, magnificent fins.
C
I long for the grizzly hunting me down in the pines.
G BmAm G
I long for the monsters to come and wake up my mind.
D C
I long to be alone, to lie beneath the ice
G Bm Am G
Floating in a Tai Chi painted turtle ballet, neath the moaning ice.
D C G
And I long, long, long
G D G
Long and then I’m gone.
I long for the bamboo tower
Trembling in the sky,
Leading me onward, into the bye and bye.
I long for to travel the countries with no name
Deep in the dark maps of my dreams I long for a train.
I long for the faces that fed me as I’ve grown
I long for the places with birds never seen or heard.
I long, long,I long,
Long and then I’m gone.
I long for the feeling that anything is possible.
I long for the Eel river
For pure nakedness and bliss.
I long for the cyclamen returning in a riot
Rising to lift the sleeping giant. I long to love you right.
I long to not look back as I walk into the light
I long, I long, I long, I long and then I’m gone.
