Kay Closson - Long Time Gone

I been around for a long long time
Tell you what I'd rather be
Long time gone
A long time gone

Walk up to that man and tell him take me with you
I don't wanna stay around here
I wanna go with you
Mm mmm mmm

He's gonna say well if you go with me
What you gonna do all day?
I'm gonna sing all day long
La da la la la....

He's gonna say well if you go with me
Aint no ever comin back
That's alright. I don't care.

I been around for a long long time
Tell you what I'd rather be
Long time gone
Mm mm mmm

Kay Closson was a poet, writer, pianist, mother of three (including myself), and all around inspiration to many people in the Wichita KS area.

This song was taken from a VCR tape, part of a school project done by Kay's friend Neer Nine. The tape contained poetry, a short story, novel excerpts, and finished with 3 of her songs. I provided the song title - actually I'm not sure if the songs were titled or not. I will correct this if I find further information.

When I was a kid, she asked me if I knew what the song was about, and I gathered I didn't - so she explained it was a suicide song. Actually she did have an ongoing romantic relationship with death, so considering my age it's understandable if I thought it was a love song.
