LONG TIME GONE     (David Crosby)


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
the surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day
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 got to speak out against the madness
you got to speak your mind
if you dare
But don't no don't now 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 comin'
It's goin' 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  before the dawn

(You better Come In That Kitchen
Because It's Got To Be Raining Outside)
