Long Time Man Lyrics - Your Funeral... My Trial - Nick Cave

Yeah, they came to take me away 

Said I'd be sitting here for the rest of my life 

But I don't really care, I shot my wife 

And brother, I can't even remember the reason why 

[Chorus:] 

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad 

Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad 

Well I ain't had no love since I don't know when 

It sure makes a long time man feel bad 

We was down in Jacksonville 

A cold winter night 

My baby and I, we began to fight 

I heated up, and I grabbed my gun 

I get so cold on those nights down south 

She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor 

She looked up at me and began to smile 

Her gasping words: "Baby, I love you" 

Then she closed those baby blue eyes 

[Chorus] 

Sometimes I hear you call my name in the dead of the night 

I ain't had those arms around me 

I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me 

It sure makes a long time man feel bad 

So bad
