(Skip Goodwin/Richie Furay)      It's been a long time a comin'   And I have to carry on   It's been a long time a comin'   But now you're gone      Oh, look at me   Sittin' starin' at the rain   Knowin' the days that we once new   Won't ever come again   Well it seems too strange to really be   So I pinch myself and I find   Whew, yeah, it's me      It's been a long time a comin'   And I have to carry on   It's been a long time a comin'   But now you're gone       And it's too late to turn   Back all the clocks in town   It's too late take the x   From yesterday   Now the die is cast   Nothin' happens in the past   So I think I'll take a walk   Out in the rain      Hmmm, here I go   Walkin' down a street in time   Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme   Just a while has now become too long   Consequently to you I can say   Goodbye, So long, yeah!      It's been a long time a comin'   And I have to carry on   It's been a long time a comin'   But now you're gone    (Here we go Rust)      And it's too late to turn   Back all the clocks in town   It's too late to take the x   From yesterday   Now the die is cast   Nothin' happens in the past   So I think I'll take a walk   Out in the rain      Hmmm, here I go   Walkin' down a street in time   Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme   Just a while has now become too long   Consequently to you I can say   Goodbye, So long, yeah!      It's been a long time a comin'   And I have to carry on   It's been a long time a comin'   But now you're gone      But now you're gone    But now you're gone
