Lyrics
I ain't long for this world
I am not going to live for much longer
Don't belong to this world
I do not fit or belong to this world
I ain't long for this world but I got this song for you girl
Although my time is short, I have this song for you, girl
I ain't long
I don't have a long time
I ain't long for this world
I am not going to live for much longer
Mama's gonna scream and cry
Mama will express sorrow and cry for me when I pass away
For me on the day I die
Anticipation of mourning from Mama upon my death
Mama gonna scream and cry
Mama will cry out and grieve
With her hands raised to the sky
Mama will mourn with hands raised to the sky
I ain't long
I don't have a long time
I ain't long for this world
I am not going to live for much longer
I try so hard but can't forget
I exert effort but cannot forget
All things that I regret
Reflection on things in life that bring regret
Could you really be that sweet
Questioning the sincerity of someone's sweetness
I ain't long
I don't have a long time
I ain't long for this world
I am not going to live for much longer
The still of night but the future is calling
The night is quiet, but the future beckons
And I think back to an uncloudy day
Reflecting on a clear and unclouded past
You and I with our future before us
You and I had a future ahead of us
As I leave these words by the bed where you lay
Leaving words by the bed as a parting message
I have to go but always remember
I must go, but always remember
Time and space are only a dream
Time and space are ephemeral concepts
And I will always be reaching for you
Continual pursuit of connection even beyond life
Feel my presence and know that it's me
Presence is felt, and it's a way to identify me
Gonna run but I won't hide
Running away, but not hiding
Through the darkness I will ride
Navigating through difficulties and challenges
If you hear that I have died I'll see you on the other on the other side
If news of my death reaches you, anticipate our reunion in the afterlife
I ain't long
I don't have a long time
I ain't long for this world
I am not going to live for much longer
