So Long |
LyricsSO LONGMark Patterson © 2024 Let me tell you a secret I've been around the wheel a few times Always did my damnedest To see the reason and the rhyme And while our story's still unfolding The conclusion is forgone So in case I don't see you Think of this as so long There's a town in Argentina we escape to In the remake of our tale Where we learn to dance the Tango And we're not so inclined to fail Where there's a whole lot more at stake than What's right and who's wrong But no one's handing out second chances So think of this as so long As bad as we ended You still remind me of all that's good I tried to find you in Rosario But I never could Bad poetry I would pen for you And all those sorrowful songs They're for someone else to write now Think of this as so long There's a town in Argentina we escape to In the remake of our tale Where we learn to dance the Tango And we're not so inclined to fail Where there's a whole lot more at stake than What's right and who's wrong But no one's handing out second chances So think of this as so long Looks like I'm out of second chances So think of this as so long So long So long So long |
