Well she was mine and I was fine back then
I tried to say how much I
Loved her till the end
And there were times I could've
Said what I want to

And now she's gone
And I'm the Long Lonely Bayou

Now I'm filling up from the rain
Still water is killing my veins
My heart is drifting like an old Pierrot
There's been a time with nowhere to go

I found it hard to snake
My way through the trees
I can't even get a push from a breeze
I was a man who found a love so true

And now she's gone
And I'm the Long Lonely Bayou

Now I'm filling up from the rain
A still water is killing my veins
My heart, Lord
Is drifting like an old Pierrot
There's been a time, I got no place to go

I found it hard to snake
My way through the trees
I can't even find a push from a breeze
I was a man who found a love so true

And now she's gone
And I'm the Long Lonely Bayou
And now she's gone
And I'm the Long Lonely Bayou
