The Nigel Purcell Trio - God it took so long (Remastered)

Leaving now
Getting in the car
It's another
Empty show
Leaving now
Racing against time
It goes fast
But I feel slow
Pulling up and I'm
Running in
With a bad thought
On my mind
Somebody that I
Love so much
It's the one about
To die

Down the labyrinth
And corridors and
Empty chairs
Past unfortunates
Who are only just
Breathing air
And there inside
The reason why
I am alive
He's gonna die

Holding on to his
Dying hand
And the end is almost near
Hanging on to his
Dying words
And the past
Becomes so clear
All the doubts
That's inside my head
Are suddenly outside
They are gonna take me
For a drink when he's
No longer alive

Down the labyrinth
Of corridors and
Empty chairs
Past unfortunates
Who are only just
Breathing air
And there inside
The reason why
I am alive
He's gonna die

Leaving now
Going to a place
I don't wanna be
Everything that my father said
It was there for all to see
Waiting now for a
Dying hour
And a chance to
Right a wrong
I'll be happy
When the time has come
But God it took so long
