So Long, Atticus Marbles and chalk A broken pocket watch I found them in a tree He left them there for me A pencil and a pin A whistle made of tin A button and a ring For lack of words to sing [Chorus] It's been so long It's been so long, Atticus It's been so long It's been so long, Atticus The town was filled with rage To hide their disgrace The stranger ran from harm They shot without alarm And wise beyond my years I called these men to hear But some things never change While hatred still remains [Chorus] It's been so long It's been so long, Atticus It's been so long It's been so long, Atticus Then before their hate filled me The mockingbird in the tree He filled the night with song It's been so long [Chorus] It's been so long It's been so long, Atticus It's been so long It's been so long, Atticus It's been so long It's been so long, Atticus It's been so long It's been so long, Atticus
