Nick Shaheen So Long lyrics

There's something going on and we need to talk
I'm hittin' it head on every way I walk
And it's ringin' in my ears like an old time tune
Hangin' on my head like the sun at noon
I've got some pennies in my pocket for every time you'd say
We'll figure it out along the way
But for everything you said, you never told me how
Well, I bought a train ticket and I'm leaving now

So Long.

The sun shined bright on me from the start
My shadow and I, you couldn't tell apart
Don't say I'm not who you first met
I've just been filling in that silhouette
And I won't change into what you want me to be
I am who I am, just how you fell for me
Yeah, I could stick around and try to see it through

But that's not the type of man that fell for you

So Long.

I wish you well, I wish you the best
Health and happiness and all the rest
But most of all I wish you'd say
That I never should have gone away
It wasn't like I chose to go
You left no choice, but you didn't know
So here's to you finding out one day
The one that left ain't always the one walking away

So Long.
