Choose a track to play
Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still you're not there
You're a long time gone
Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete
You're a long time gone (long time gone)
Such a long time gone (long time gone)
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still?
And I always will
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
You're a long time gone (long time gone)
Such a long time gone (long time gone).
Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
You're a long time gone (long time gone)
Such a long time gone (long time gone)
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will
You're a long time gone
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
You're a long time gone
You never did
You never said goodbye
You're a long time gone...
