And as sure as the sun casts a shadow
And that big ol' moon's gonna rise
I'll keep leavin' and returnin'
Only to find I'm one step behind

And I'm too long gone tonight

How many dreams have been discarded
So many promises have gone cold
And while everybody's future is gettin' clearer
I just can't seem to find my way home

Too long gone tonight
With every waking moment
I'm too long gone
Too long gone tonight
And only you can save me

I have counted my good fortunes
I've tasted bitter loss
I've been hell bent on destruction
Oh I've held that silver cross

And there was nothin' in the ashes
Of every bridge I burned
Just another false hope
For every stone unturned

And tonight as I hang suspended
And tonight I will surrender

Too long gone tonight
With every waking moment
I'm too long gone
Too long gone tonight
And only you can save me
'Cause I'm too long gone
