So Long So Wrong [Rounder] lyrics

(Jeff White)

Blue trail of sorrow lies upon the ground
And I get so lonely since you let me down
Well I used to be so happy walking on these streets
Now there's just sadness everywhere I meet.

Start walking baby walk all over town
Sweet tears of sadness falling down
Keep looking baby I won't be around
Blue trail of sorrow on the ground.

--- Mandolin Instrumental ---

(Mark Simos)

Leaving is the longest word I ever learned
In the time it takes to say it the whole world has turned
If a heartbeat lasts a lifetime then I've lived before
Cause I remember standin' at this open door.

This path is not the one I'd choose to travel
Even as we watch what tied us unravel
And the tears fall like rain deeper than crying
The loving still remains.

(Mark Simos)

I used to laugh at all those songs
'Bout the rambling life, the nights so long and lonely
Well, I ain't laughin' now, now that I'm caught up, it seems
In all the same ambitious dreams that only lonely life allows.

And the home I don't go home to
The friends I don't see
Are the part of this life
That endears it to me.

If that's the price I have to pay
For doing things my own way

(Michael McDonald - Victor Krauss)

With your love I was complete
Like a haven safe from harm
'Til the bitter stole the sweet
I was perfect in your arms
A precious while I had your smile
'Til it all fell apart
With one change of heart.

The pain and regret will fade
But the fact of love will still remain
You can't always trust happiness
Love like a sweet parade 'til the saddest

(Michael McDonald)

It was so right, it was so wrong almost at the same time
The pain and ache a heart can take no one really knows
But when the memories cling and take you there
Till you no longer care, you can let go now.

It's not right for me to cling to you somehow I just needed time
From what was to be, it's not like me to hold somebody down

(Will S. Hays)

When the curtains of night are pinned back by the stars
And the beautiful moon sweeps the sky
Dewdrops from heaven are kissing the rose
It's then that my memory flies.

--- Fiddle Instrumental ---

Well, upon the wings of a beautiful dove
I'll hasten this message of cheer
And I'll bring you a kiss of affection and say
I'll remember you love, in my prayers.

(H.L. Allen)

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Don't matter if I bleed.
You've been on a road
Don't know where it goes or where it leads.

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
If you've made up your mind to go
I won't beg you to stay.
You've been in a cage
Throw you to the wind, you fly away.

(Kostas Lazarides - Tricia Walker)

I wonder should I tell you
'Bout all the crazy things I've ever done
I've been searching all my life
And when I should have stayed I tried to run.

I was searching for an answer
In a world full of strangers
But what I found was never real enough
Now that I've found you I'm looking in the eyes of love.

Darlin' you've been good to me

(Bob Lucas)

When I was a child I used to love to watch the rain
I'd stand under the downspout let the water cool my brain
I never thought to worry if the river rose too high
That all the seeds we planted would get washed out with the tide.

But now I am a man and I need a place to hide
But there's nowhere to run and there's no place to hide
Where the water runs free and the mud starts to slide.

(Ron Block)

I've lived a dozen lifetimes in twenty-some-odd years
Got no use for trouble got no use for tears
Can't you see it's killing me I'm old before my time
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life.

I've had my share of sorrow more than you could know
Save your lies and alibis I've heard that tune before
Can't you see it's killing me I'm old before my time

(Patrick Brayer - Walden Dahl)

I know I'll be lonesome that brings about a little fear
I know I'll be sad and I'll be blue
I have given the best of me when I forgot to say to you
What you forgot to say to me so long so wrong.

I have tried and cared baby it was never enough
Cause in your mind I never had a clue
So I'll repave the same old road I'm on where I forgot to say to you

(Bob Lucas)

I met a man traveling down the road
He looked me in the eye
And he gave me a ring and he gave me a rose
And he told me some gypsy lies.

The road is a lover, you never recover not now or any time soon
My head starts to spin when I think where I've been
Playin' twin to an old fiddle tune
Oh, oh, as the wind chases after the moon.

(Ron Block)

I've seen hard times and I've been told
There isn't any wonder that I fall
Why do we suffer, crossing off the years
There must be a reason for it all.

I've trusted in You, Jesus, to save me from my sin
Heaven is the place I call my home
But I keep on getting caught up in this world I'm living in
And Your voice it sometimes fades before I know.
