Long Time Gone - Hooverphonic

Long forgotten city lights

Twinkling through the soothing night

This city feels abandoned

It’s part of our lives

The air is hot, it trembles

It carries ashes we can’t see

This city feels depressed

A treasure without a key

Long time gone

Time is moving fast

History’s moving slow

Long time gone

Sometimes it is better

Not to know

Long forgotten histories

Stories full of poetry

One day we are happy

The next we’re really sad

Words are trembling in the air

Try to stick but mostly fail

Dyslexic hearts don’t match

They can’t remove the veil

Long time gone

Time is moving fast

History’s moving slow

Long time gone

Sometimes it is better

Not to know

Long time gone

Time is moving fast

History’s moving slow

Long time gone

Sometimes it is better

Not to know

Long time gone

Time is moving fast

History’s moving slow

Long time gone

Sometimes it is better

Not to know

Long time gone

Time is moving fast

History was moving slow

Long time gone

Sometimes it is better

Not to know
