Long and Gone and Over

Why I thought of you today

For my life I cannot say

A winter wind when autumn looked away

There you were by my design

Like a bird up on a line

Watching as the past and present intertwine

Long and gone and over my old friend

Should I hear your voice again

Remind me everything comes to an end

It's more than miles between us

More than time

More like planets out of line

The things neglected through our sad decline

Long and gone and over

Now that winter´s coming down

We will walk this holy ground

Wish that we could stop the seasons going round

Red and gold from summer green

Through the mirror dimly seen

We were the lucky ones when we were seventeen

Long and gone and over my old friend

Should I hear your voice again

Remind me everything comes to an end

More than miles between us

More than time

More like planets out of line

The things neglected through our sad decline

Long and gone and over

It's long and gone and over
