About This Song: (Lyrics Below)
This song is part of a group of meditative, present moment awareness songs designed to refocus the mind and install empowered, positive states. This is a meditation or “wide awake” self hypnosis session I’mnot suggesting that you listen to this all the time and everywhere you go, but it might actually improve your life… LOL Just sayn’
In this live recording the Rogue Mystic Vocalists really shine… Joy Adler, Pete Furlong, Sarah Puig and Rilee O’Neill…
we hadn’t rehearsed this at all so it’s really the vocal section playing and improvising with each other… It’s kind of like the “Holy Grail” of vocalizing.
Gone A Long Time
Song 495 | 12/27/14 | Open D Tuning
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 up 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…
