Gone A Long Time

Song 495 | 12/27/14

I’ve been gone a long time
I’ve been gone a long time
I’ve been gone a long time
I’ve been gone a long time
But I am fully present with you right now

Can you hear the crows call?
Can you hear the crows call?
Can you hear the crows call?
Can you hear the crows call?
They’ve got a Red Tail Hawk trapped in a dying tree

Can you see the blue sky?
Can you see the blue sky?
Can you see the blue sky?
Can you see the blue sky?
Can you imagine what it would be like to fly?

What if God was asleep?
And we were her dream?
What if God was asleep?
And we were her dream?
Do you think she'll still remember us when she wakes up?

What if I were a tree?
What if I were a tree?
What if I was a tree?
What if I was a tree?
And you landed in my branches, then flew away?

It’s been a long day
It’s been a long day
It’s been a long day
It’s been a long day
And I am truly grateful to be here with you right now…

What if life is a dream?
What if life is a dream?
What if life is a dream?
What if life is a dream?
And we remembered what it’s like to be awake?

We’ll be gone a long time
We’ll be gone a long time
We’ll be gone a long time
We’ll be gone a long time
So you might want to pay attention to right now…

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
