Long Time Gone
I’m a man who walked the world,
Walked the world in search of home,
I’m a man.
I had a girl, she walked away,
Walked away because she can,
I was her man.
Been a long time gone;
Look for love cannot be found;
In a day I will go
Back to Brooklyn, girl.
In this world you have to be a fool
to look for love, for what it’s worth,
I am a fool.
And in this world, you have to work,
Work until your bones are broken down;
What a world
Been a long time gone;
Look for love, cannot be found;
In a day I will go
Back to Brookline, girl.
Been a long time gone
Look for love, cannot be found
In a day I will go
Back to Brooklyn, girl.
I had a girl, she walked away,
Walked away because she can;
I was her man.
I had a girl, she walked away,
Walked away because she can;
I was her man.
