Long Time Gone

[zyzyly]

I was thinkin' about this song today. When I came home, I dusted it off and played it. No one has long hair anymore, but there's still something going on around here that surely won't stand the light of day.

And it does seem a long, long time before the dawn.



It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone.
And it appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long time,
Yes, a long, long, long, long time,
Before the dawn.

Turn, turn any corner.
Hear, you must hear what the people say,
You know there's something that's goin' on around here,
That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day.
And it appears to be a long, (yes it does)
Appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long time,
Such a long, long, time,
Before the dawn.

Speak out, you got to speak out against the madness
You got to speak your mind,
If you dare.
But don't, no don't no try to get yourself elected.
If you do you had better cut your hair.
And it appears to be a long, (yes it does)
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time,
Such a long, long, long, long time,
Before the dawn.

It's been a long time comin',
It's going to be a long time gone.
But you know, the darkest hour,
Is always, always just before the dawn.
And it appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long time,
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn.

you can't see it in this picture, i guess i'll have
to get my wife or son to take one with my hair down,
but my hair is now longer than it ever was. i started
growing it when my wife had carpal tunnel syndrome, and
just kept it.~paul

Strangely enough, As I was riding my bicycle this morning, with my bald-headed crew-cut, I was thinking of "Almost cut my hair".

Another spiritual song from the 60's

May the long time
Sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure Light within you
Guide you way home.
