Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wanna pack it all up
Get on a bus and move to Vermont
Or Maine, or any of those states back East
That I remember
Sometimes I wanna go back to school
An East Coast college with some history
I'd be satisfied, I know
In the simple things
[Verse 2]
Long time sunshine
Long time sunshine upon me
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wanna build a house
With a woodstove or a fireplace
And in the middle of the living room
An old piano
Sometimes it don't seem so bad
To settle down with a good woman
And leave this lonely life behind
Forever and ever
[Verse 4]
Long time sunshine
Long time sunshine upon me
Long time sunshine
Long time sunshine upon me
[Verse 5]
Goodbye, friends, goodbye, my girl
Close my eyes as you fly away
Keep on going till you get someplace
Where you can truly rest
[Verse 6]
Long time sunshine
Long time sunshine upon me
Long time sunshine
Long time sunshine upon me
[Verse 7]
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
Long time sunshine
It's gonna kill when you desert me
Long time sunshine upon me
[Verse 8]
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me (He is in my eyes)
Long time sunshine (He is in my ears)
It's gonna kill when you desert me (He is in my blood)
Long time sunshine upon me (He is in my tears)
[Verse 9]
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me (He is in my eyes)
Long time sunshine (He is in my ears)
It's gonna kill when you desert me (He is in my blood)
Long time sunshine upon me (He is in my tears)
[Verse 10]
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me (Blast off, up to the stars we go)
Long time sunshine
It's gonna kill when you desert me (And leave behind everything I used to know)
Long time sunshine upon me (Somebody's givin' me a whole lot of money to do)
[Verse 11]
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me (What I think I want to)
Long time sunshine (So why am I still feeling blue?)
It's gonna kill when you desert me
Long time sunshine upon me (Oh, Waun and Dondo)
Why?
