Electric Light Orchestra - A Long Time Gone Lyrics
Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still you're not there
You're a long time gone
Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will
You're a long time gone
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
You're a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
You're a long time gone

Electric Light Orchestra A Long Time Gone Comments
This song is super catchy! But what is it really about...?
What a fantastic song!!!!!! Sheer genius, as usual for our Jeff!
This song is too beautiful to be so short..
T. T. Please come back to/for me.. 💜Linda P.
this feels like a revamp of when time stood still which is one of my favorites
Jeff Lynne’s is the magic of the lonely love song that keeps you thinking about he can come up with the words
🎶😎👍
"Long time gone" - George Harrison on slide guitar, Ringo on drums. That says it all really. Premier League.
nope, Ringo plays only on "Moment in Paradise" and "Easy Money"
Sounds very similar to his 1981 song WHEN TIME STOOD STILL
Same chord progression in the beginning. He just made his own composition much better in my opinion. It's like he took the diamond and made a brilliant out of it! 💎
George's playing was always immediately recognizable. He had a very unique style and sound.
ya I love 💕 this song is fantastic slow soundtrack of music,it’s beautiful.jeff
This song always makes me cry..."when I look out the window and still you're not there..."
The perfect electronic music to put at Science-Fiction movies.
Beautiful song for my love long time gone.
Ready for Transport.......Off this planet
John Walter Yes I hope you mean "Heaven" for the "other" planet🙏💖😇
One of my All-Time favorite songs
Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still you're not there
You're a long time gone
Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete
You're a long time gone (long time gone)
Such a long time gone (long time gone)
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still?
And I always will
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
You're a long time gone (long time gone)
Such a long time gone (long time gone)
Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
You're a long time gone (long time gone)
Such a long time gone (long time gone)
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will
You're a long time gone
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
You're a long time gone
You never did
You never said goodbye
You're a long time gone...
Esa intro... <3
yes, what a haunting song and melody...the band voices, the bass, the drums, the pianos...the whole electric orchestra at all but...that haunting guitar...yes, that haunting guitar that also appears like as magical OVIN... taking all of us as a guilty part of this mistery...wow !!! take your seats and, fasten your belts!!!!
Maravilloso tema.
Sorprendentemente hermosa.
Great album.....I bought the DVD and I was not disappointed. Jeff Lynne can really write haunting songs! Beautiful.
He always has and he takes "Beatlesque" Ballads up another notch.
George Harrison plays a mean slide guitar on this song.
I've always wondered why Jeff has not been knighted. His creativity as a singer, songwriter, producer, multi instrumentalist is a credit to us all and worthy of a gong.
I believe that the most significant reason why, for most of it's existance, the brilliant songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer of every track on every Electric Light Orchestra, Jeff Lynne, is so underrated, unappreciated and relatively unknown is the result of a conscious decision by Jeff Lynne himself, who's genuine modesty, and single-minded focus on the perfecting of each ELO track, meant that although there's millions and millions who instantly recognize and love any one of the dozens of hit singles of ELO, very, very few of those fans would notice in the slightest if Jeff Lynne himself passed them on the street... I believe Mr. Lynne chose to do something very smart indeed; he's had the success of a superstar band, the financial reward from writing and producing all those hit singles, and he's earned the respect of his peers, like John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Dhani Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and many many others, and he's done so -without- the negative aspect of fame and celebrity...it's safe to assume he can go pretty much anywhere in any large city all over the world and remain anonymous, and free from all the unwanted attention and invasions of privacy that are often the price one pays for great success in the entertainment business.
He's a KING as far as I hear it!
@MasterJason Las Vegas I like to think he doesn't want the fame and fortune, he just wants to keep doing what he loves: making and performing FANTASTIC music!
He is absolute genius, knight or not knight.
George you're already a long time gone my friend. Always missed.
Great album!
Mozart, Schubert, Verdi, Chopin, Jeff Lynne...................................
Bach, Beethoven, Xenakis, Lynne.........
Jeff Lynne...after all those monsters, certainly he did...indeed...in a popular way what puts him in a real blue sky !!!
REALLY DESERVES NOBEL !!! the future will see... :)
James Pankow/Robert Lamm.....
It is not a matter of years, or how old a band is. It is a matter of relevans and song quality.ELO fits the bill, and they always had, and they always will.
I heartily agree.
Thank you. :-)
ELO fantastics!
3 альбом. без джеф лина.elo закончилось в 1986году.
The late great George Harrison on slide!
Very great....
One of favorite ELO songs. My favorite on this album of great songs.
Such a long time gone... what a bittersweet lullaby.
@frankbar007 Saint YouTube and Saint radio transmitter. (Electric Light) ;-)
Key word: Obsolete! Unfortunately, right now, the future is obsolete. Not going to be more like this generation. Closed door.
@frankbar007 Yep, they're really magical.
My favorite from "Zoom"
All you ELO fans help us get the great Jeff Lynne inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame please..check facebook, Jeff Lynne should be inducted into trrhof.
Great Music!!
