Long And Long Poem by Marc O'Maolain

This is actually lyrics for a song I wrote, in a more lugubrious phase of my life...

Key of G,3/4 time

(Outro/Chorus)
Well, it's long and it's long since I've seen her
Far and away that she's been
A million miles lie in between her
And the heart that lies broke at this end

Oh, the distance between us is frightening
I can't see her through fathoms below
Between us there's thunder and lightning
down the road to her I cannot go

(Chorus)

Oh, sure and her eyes brim with fire
Sure, and her lips taste like wine
When I think of her I'm filled with desire
and a longing for when she was mine

(Chorus)

Repeat in Gaelige
