it'll be a long time coming
it's part of life I don't like
saying goodbye to old friends
and the end of life
and what we know
it'll be a long time coming, boy
till we meet again
well it's time to say goodbye
and all the things we've said and cried
through our lives
you will be on my lips
it'll be a long time coming, boy
till we meet again
into the earth we go and we dive
into the spirit world
where our hearts lie
we go down into the sea
of eternal life
they say there is a light
and we're freed, some say
we will find a better place, they say
some day
we will finally meet some day
