about

Written 2016 for my Daughters.
When you know, you know.

lyrics

Done the dishes,
I cooked the meals,
I raised the babies,
love that gives me the chills,
and what I do,
I do it for you and you,
I do it for us and them, oh yes,
but then again..

I'm already long gone, the wind,
still whispers my name,
like an old familiar remedy,
of how to,
cure all the pain,
I'm already long gone,
but my feet they just won't move,
I'm already long gone,
I've got,
nothing left to prove...

And now I see it,
played it out in my head,
stranger in a new town,
From a Far away land,
I'll have that drink alone,
and then that smoke,
wake up with a woman,
still drunk and stoned...

I'm already long gone, as I,
jump aboard the train,
I can smell greener grass just a coming my way,
and I'll be dancing in the rain,
I'm already long gone,
but my feet they just won't move,
I'm already long gone,
but it all comes back to you, to you...

And it feels like a beautiful day to say,
goodbye, goodbye,
time to spread my wings and fly,
so high so high so high,
I'm already long gone, just trying to,
see a new day,
Know I,
gotsta do some living in my life,
before my time just slips away,
I'm already long gone,
but my feet they just won't move,
I'm already long gone,
I've got,
Nothing left to prove

And here I am again, 5:30 a.m.,
Do everything that I can do,
cuz it's all just for them, for them,
this here is my life now, and I'm no fool,
I'm already long gone from the old me I once knew.
