Chris Smither - So Long Lyrics

Chris Smither Lyrics

"So Long"

To see me now
You would never think to wonder
How near we were to sinkin' under
For so long
But now I'm gone
So long

The truth be told
I think my soul was stuck in amber
Like a chip for weary gamblers
For so long
But now I'm gone
So long

See me, I'm a sailor now
Sail on, sail on
Dark skies seem paler now
I'll be gone
So long

The steady hand
That every beggar holds his bowl in
Was what we took for steady rollin'
For so long
But now I'm gone
So long

See me, I'm a sailor now
Sail on, sail on
Dark skies seem paler now
I'll be gone
So long, so long
