Long Time Gone Lyrics

Ruthie Foster Long Time Gone

It's been a long time coming
It's gonna 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 going all around here
Truly, truly, truly, it won't stand the light of day, no

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

Speak out
You gotta speak out against the madness
You gotta speak your mind
If you dare

But don't, no don't
Don't you try to get yourself elected
If you do, you had better cut your hair

'Cause 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

It's been a long time coming
It's gonna be a long, long, long time gone
But you know the darkest hour
Is always just before the dawn, yeah

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

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
