John Wesley Harding Long Dead Gone lyrics

It's so easily to forgo, it's so hard to forget
It's so hard for to realize that I'm not dead yet
When everything that we wanted is beyond beyond
And all that I hoped for is long dead gone

So how can I sleep in this memory bed
Where I feel like a grave with a tomb for a bed head
With your name and my name carved deep in the stone
Now faded away 'cause we're long dead gone

We're long dead gone, we're long dead gone, yeah
Now faded away because we're long dead gone

And love lies bewildered, checking its pulse
To see if it compares to anything else
And two things still beating but never as one
But one thing lies choking 'cause it's long dead gone

But it's long dead gone but it's long dead gone, yeah

But one thing lies choking 'cause it's long dead gone

So here rest in pieces
Whatever it was that we could admit to
Whatever it was that was me and you
What was me and you, what was me and you, yeah

So why won't I just let it die and get rid
Of the truth that we both would've rather kept hid
Better to live a lie than pretend that you're not
And to live out a love which is long dead gone

But we're long dead gone, yeah but we're long dead gone, yeah
Don't live out a love which is long dead gone
Never live out a love which is long dead gone
Never live out a love which is long dead gone
