I knew what everyone said We married too young But what did they know, and what did we care The light in your eyes was my lucky star But that light doesn't shine on me anymore When I leave I'll be a long time gone We won't have the time to talk about it later on When I leave I'll be a long time gone Little lies accumulate, they fill up space Where my heart used to be I remember promises of days to come Now they're a fading memory Not so long ago I believed in you When I leave I'll be a long time gone Funny how I used to think we'd always get along When I leave I'll be a long time gone There's a train every other hour And buses all the time By morning I could be 500 miles away But that's just a distance of a different kind So if something's on your mind, you'd better say it this time When I leave I'll be a long time gone We won't have the time to talk about it later on When I leave I'll be a long time gone
