"Long Lost" lyrics

"Long Lost"

Leave me where the light pours down through the trees like rain
Let it wash over me like a flood, let it ease my pain
Let it drown me

For a while I was held by the myth of the Lost Highway
In the spell of the night and the lights of the Great White Way
I ain't lonely, are you?

Send me to the mountains, let me go free forever
I'll be running through the forest dancing in the fields like this

Leave me where the moonbeams carve through the leaves like blades
Lay me in the tall-grown grass in a shallow grave
Let it have me

I've got a place in the world and I found out where
Out in the night all alone in the Way Out There
I ain't lonely, I'm long lost
Say goodbye
Long lost
Out of my mind

Long lost

Send me to the mountains, let me go free forever
I'll be running through the forest dancing in the fields like this

Send me to the mountains, let me go free forever
I'll be running through the forest dancing in the fields like this

Long lost
Long lost
Long lost

The band told about "Long Lost" in an open letter to fans, "The record was called 'Long Lost,' and it looked as if it had been layin' there on the floor since before Whispering Pines was even a whisper itself. I brushed the dust off the cover and saw that the artist was none other than the boys themselves—Lord Huron."
