Long Time Gone Songtext
von 7 Worlds Collide

It was morning in Brighton
But the fire in the bar didn′t give off any heat
The sun crept in unnoticed
And tried to find itself a seat
I was explaining and complaining
I had lined up all the facts
You could see where this was heading
You stopped me in my tracks

And you said
And you said

We're a long time gone
We′re a long time gone
We're a long time gone
And there's work to be done


You said when you come into your town
Flying in over the Pacific
You watch the shadow of the plane
As it glides along the traffic
One day the plane will make its shadow
On the city′s face
But you won′t be there to notice
There'll be no one sitting in your place

That′s what you said
That's what you said

We′re a long time gone
We're a long time gone
We′re a long time gone
And there's work to be done

In the country of the blind
The one-eyed man's king

You better keep that one eye peeled
You′re gonna miss something
You made a point of noticing everything
Every second, every minute

But now it seems insane
The world still spins along
Now you′re no longer in it


Whenever I want to lay down my tools
I hear your voice and I pick them up again
And I will never give in
I will never give in
I will never give in, my friend

Because you said
Because you said

We're a long time gone
We′re a long time gone
We're a long time gone
And there′s work to be done

And there's work to be done
