Elida Capps - So Long Now Lyrics

I lost my home when I was eight years old
The place I knew the most
The place I knew the most
Mother worried that I'd turn out this way
Talking to myself a certain way
Where did the time go?
Where does time go?

I can't wait to get where I'm going
Cause I've been going for so long now

I lost love when I was twenty two
Nothing in this world stays brand new
Where did our love go?
Where does love go?

I lost my father when I was eight years old
And since then I've been collecting ghosts
Where did your light go?
Where does light go?

I can't wait to get where I'm going
Cause I've been going for so long now
I can't wait to get where I'm going
Cause you've been gone for too long now

I don't want to wake up in the morning to find that this was all just a dream
I don't want to wake up in the morning to find that I wasn't ever really living
I don't want to wake up in the morning to find that I have to do this all again
When I don't want to wake up at all
When I don't really want to wake up at all

Bones bones bones
Feather on a stone
Lead me home today
And spread my ashes on the ground where my father lay
