Long Time Gone Lyrics by Don McGlashan

The Sun Came Out

2009

It was morning in Brighton
But the fire in the bar didn't give off any heat
The sun crept in unnoticed
Tryin' 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, 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're coming 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 will 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
A one-eyed man is king
You better keep that one-eye peeled
Or you're gonna miss something
You made a point of noticing everything
Every second, every minute
And now it seems insane that 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
'Cause you said, 'cause 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
