SINGER: Paul Simon

SONG:Gone At Last

The night was black, the roads were icy
snow was fallin', drifts were high
and i was weary from my driving
and i stopped to rest for awhile
i sat down at a truck stop
i was thinking about my past
i've had a long streak of that bad luck
but i'm praying it's gone at last
Chorus:
gone at last, gone at last
gone at last, gone at last
i had a long streak of bad luck
but i pray it's gone at last
oo, oo, oo . . .
I ain't dmb
i kicked around some
i don't fall too easily
but that boy looked so dejected
he just grabbed my sympathy
sweet little soul now, what's your problem?
tell me why you're so downcast
i've had a long streak of bad luck
but i pray it's gone at last
Chorus:
gone at last, gone at last
gone at last, gone at last
i had a long streak of bad luck
but i pray it's gone at last
oo, oo, oo . . .
Once in a while from out of nowhere
when you don't expect it, and you're unprepared
somebody will come and lift you higher
and your burdens will be shared
yes i do believe, if i hadn't met you
i might still be sinking fast
i've had a long streak of that bad luck
but i pray it's gone at last
Chorus:
gone at last, gone at last
gone at last, gone at last
i had a long streak of bad luck
but i pray it's gone at last
oo, oo, oo . . .
