Long, Long Journey - Allen Toussaint

Sometimes I feel so weary

Traveling through life all alone

Sometimes I feel so weary

Traveling through life all alone

It's a long

Long journey

And I can't make it on my own

There's seven million people

Living right here in this town

There's seven million people

Living right here in this town

I don't need but one person

So

Baby

Please

Stay around

When the sun turns blue

And the moon shines bright all day

When the sun turns blue

And the moon shines bright all day

That's the day

Sweet mama

I'll let you run away

When the rivers stop flowing

And the trees lay down and die

When the rivers stop flowing

And the trees lay down and die

When the stars stop shining

Then I'll say my love's goodbye

Now if I've been misbehaving

I promise you I'll stop

But if you quit me

Baby

I declear I'll blow my top

It's a long

Long journey

But I'll make it before I'm blue

This world can't throw me

Just as long

I have you
