LONG TIME

(Bob Dylan; revised and arrangement by O.V. Michaelsen)

My parents raised me tenderly, I was their only
My got mixed with wanderin' when I was much too young.
Was just a child of thirteen years when I first left my
Been a time comin', Ma, I'll be a long time gone.

On a road through south New Mexico, in the dust and sage,
I I'd try to find some work, but they said I was young of age.
No place to turn, I'd learn to make it on my own.
Been a long time comin' and I'll be a long gone.

Many times by the highway side I tried to a ride.
bloodshot eyes and gritting teeth, I'd watch the cars roll by.
In the empty air, my guide, I traveled on alone,
Been a time comin' and I'll be a long time gone.

You might see me on crossroads, when I'll be passing through,
And dream one day follow as I drift beyond your view,
for a journey that will never lead me home
Been a time comin' and I'll be a long time gone.

If I could one drifter on this long, relentless road,
I'd warn him of its ways and the dangers it might hold,
But I know I no prophet and I ain't no prophet's son
a long time comin' and I'll be a long time gone.

So you can have your beauty skin-deep, it only lies,
And you can have your youthhood, it will before your eyes.
When my roving are through, just carve upon my stone:
"Been a long comin' and I'll be a long time gone."
