(it's gonna be) a long time now

scoff and laugh at me if you like
keep me out all the way
from your number
be that as it may, i just might
fool you all the way
my soul uncovered

(bridge)
there's a place for me among the restless souls
searching there for someone i used to know

(chorus)
and it's gonna be a long time now
'till we meet again my friend
it's gonna be a long, dark night
'till we see the end my friend
just gonna leave 'em alone
knock on doors
and nobody's home to see
a long goodbye from me

make me out a fool, that's alright
you're trying to pin me in
to some small corner
but i see through the dim of your light
and i'm shining now
i'm feelin' warmer

(bridge)
there's a place for me among the restless souls
searching there for someone i used to know

(chorus)
and it's gonna be a long time now
'till we meet again my friend
it's gonna be a long, dark night
'till we see the end my friend
just gonna leave 'em alone
knock on doors
and nobody's home to see
a long goodbye from me
