Gone at Last — текст песни (Paul Simon)

Words & music by paul simon



The night was black, the roads were icy

Snow was fallin, drifts were high

And I was weary, from my driving

And I stopped to rest for a while

I sat down at a truck stop

I was thinking about my past

Ive had a long streak of bad luck

But Im praying its gone at last



Gone, gone at last, gone at last

Gone at last, gone at last

I had a long streak of that bad luck

But Im prayin its gone at last

00, oo, oo, oo, oo



I aint dumb

I kicked around some

I dont fall too easily

But that boy looked so dejected

He just grabbed my sympathy

Sweet little soul now, whats your problem?

Tell me why youre so downcast

Ive had a long streak of bad luck

But Im praying its gone at last



Gone, gone at last, gone at last

Gone at last, gone at last

I had a long streak of that bad luck

But Im prayin its gone at last

00, oo, oo, oo, oo



Once in a while from out of nowhere

When you dont expect it, and youre unprepared

Somebody will come and lift you higher

And your burdens will be shared

Yes I do believe, if I hadnt met you

I might still be sinking fast

Ive had a long streak of bad luck

But Im praying its gone at last



Gone, gone, gone at last

Gone at last, gone at last

I had a long streak of that bad luck

But Im prayin its gone at last

Gone, gone, gone gone gone gone

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

I had a long streak of that bad luck

But Im prayin its gone at last
