Besedila: Rik Kaez. Screaming Blue Murder. Long Time Coming.

Father raised me wisely
I am his black sheep son
Our minds are set differently
And so it all begun
That I left home early
Still all so young
It's a long time coming
And I'll be a long time gone

Some might meet me on their cross-roads
As I am passing through
They'll remember me as they wish to
As I drift from their view
I aint got time to think about that
I've got too much to get done
It's a long time coming
And I'll be a long time gone

Once I loved a woman
Honestly and in deed
She broke my heart and I broke hers
And left it all to bleed
Now the only heart I have to give
Is in my songs and deeds
It's a long time coming
And I'll be a long time gone

I do wish to help somebody
With a word or a song
I do wish to warn someone
If their choices are wrong
But I know I aint a prophet
And I aint a prophet's son
It's a long time coming
And I'll be a long time gone

I don't need a silver lining
Around my dark clouds
I don't need a holiday
With cocktails in the sun
I don't need the latest trend
To send a spark to everyone
It's a long time coming
And I'll be a long time gone

They can have all their beauty
It's skin deep and only lies
They can have their youth
As it rots before their eyes
Just give to me my gravestone
With clearly carved upon
"It's been a long time coming
Now I'll be a long time gone"
