Gone at Last Songtext
von Paul Simon

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 a while
I sat down at a truck stop
I was thinking about my past
I've had a long streak of bad luck
But I′m praying it's gone at last

Gone, gone at last, (gone at last), gone at last, (gone at last)
Gone at last, (gone at last), gone at last, (gone at last)
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But I'm prayin′ it′s gone at last


I ain't dumb
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′m praying it's gone at last

Gone, gone at last, (gone at last), gone at last, (gone at last)
Gone at last, (gone at last), no one knows
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But I'm prayin′ it′s gone at last

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 bad luck
But I'm praying it′s gone at last


Gone, gone at last, (gone at last), gone at last, (gone at last)
Gone, gone at last, (gone at last), nobody knows
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But I'm prayin' it′s gone at last
Gone, gone, gone, (gone at last), gone, gone, gone, (gone at last)
Gone, gone, gone, (gone at last), gone, gone, gone, (gone at last)
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But I′m prayin' it′s gone at last
