Great Big Sea

Long Lost Love

Great Big Sea


I'd walk a thousand miles for you honey 
I'd walk a thousand miles in the sun 
I'd give up both my eyes if I could 
Make you realize 
So why can't you see that I'm the one 

Wish I could buy a limosine 
I'd fill it up and pick you up and 
Drive you to your dreams 
But when you get out on the highway 
Life is seldom as it seems 
And if the car broke down 
You'd start blaming me 

Moonshine bleeds into the dawn 
Who am I to say for you what's right 
And what is wrong 
When your gone gone gone 
The world will carry on 
You're like a song song song 
Who's melody is wrong 
But its so so hard to say so long to you 
My long lost love 

Many a man has sold his soul for silver 
Silver ain't worth nothing next to gold 
Some believe that diamonds shine forever 
But they offer little comfort when you're old 

Can't take it with you when you're gone 
Its the same end for the weak as for the strong 
And if beauty is skin deep 
Then why don't it come more cheap 
And why can't you and I just get along
