"Long Time Moving" lyrics

Long Time Moving

I'll be a long time moving
Fore I'm home
I'll be a long time sleeping
When I'm gone
There ain't nothing in this world
That I own
And I'll go the way I came
All alone

I'll leave the trees to the forests
That they're in
I'll leave the fish to the oceans
They can swim
I'll leave the songs
To my politician friends
I'll leave my money
With the manifesto ends

I'll leave the colors
To the rainbow in the sky
And the grass to the lovers
Where they lie
I'll leave the music to the people
Who can hear
And the paranoia
To the folks that fear

I'll be a long time moving
Fore I'm home
I'll be a long time sleeping
When I'm gone
There ain't nothing in this world
That I own
And I'll go the way I came
All alone

I'll leave the wars to the people
Who want fight
And the mushrooms to the folks
Who get up tight
And the sickness and the cause of misery
Don't you worry
Cause I'll take them all with me

I'll be a long time moving
Fore I'm home
Be a long time sleeping
When I'm gone
There ain't nothing in this world
That I own
And I'll go the way I came
All alone

But the sweetest thought of all them
This is true
I'll be leaving everybody
Here but you
When I get to that other
Place and time
You'll be with me
In the vacuum of my mind

I'll be a long time moving
Fore I'm home
Be a long time sleeping
When I'm gone
There ain't nothing in this world
That I own
And I'll go the way I came
All alone
