Long After You're Gone

I heard you're goin' on a journey

And your route is laid out plain

Goin' where the sun shines everyday

No more heartache, no more pain

Don't pack those bags too full, my friend

Make sure you're travelin' light

Take enough of my love with you

To keep you warm at night

I could be singin' this song

Long after you're gone

I could be singin' this song

Long after you're gone

I hope that journey takes you everywhere

You ever wanted to go

The bad bits go past real quick

And the good times roll real slow

I could be singin' this song

Long after you're gone

I could be singin' this song

Long after you're gone

Now the heavens are weeping

And I will not be sleeping tonight

I pray to that unseen star

No matter where you are

You're gonna be alright

We're on some kind of joumey

Tomorrow, I could be leaving too

Where I end up going, darling

I'll take a little piece of you

But yes, I will

You could be singin' this song

Long after I'm gone

I could be singin' this song

Long after you're gone, oh-oh-oh

Someone will be singin' this song

Long after we're both gone

Long after we're both gone
