Too Long Gone
Eternal Rock Legacy: Unveiling the Soulful Journey in 'Too Long Gone' by Keith Norris
Lyrics
Well I heard the news on the radio
Receiving news about a significant event on the radio.
On a lonely road back in Ohio
Reflecting on the news while on a desolate road in Ohio.
The sun went dark and the sky turned gray
Describing a somber atmosphere with the darkening sun and gray sky.
When the DJ told us that you'd gone away
Learning about someone's departure from the DJ's announcement.
A stack of records lying in the corner
Observing a stack of records and a picture as remnants of the departed.
And a picture hanging on my bedroom door
A picture on the bedroom door serving as a poignant reminder.
The last notes ringing in my ear
The lingering echoes of the last musical notes in memory.
Are all that you left us when you left us back here
Reflecting on the intangible legacy left behind through music.
Too long gone
Expressing that the absence has been prolonged.
Ah yeah, you been too long gone
Reiterating the extended duration of the absence.
You had a fire in your soul
Acknowledging the departed's passionate spirit for rock and roll.
That burned for rock and roll
Describing the intense passion and dedication to rock and roll.
You been too long gone
Reiterating the sentiment that the absence has been enduring.
Well I read it in the news today
Reading about the departure in today's news.
How you went to sleep and you slipped away
Learning about the departure occurring during sleep.
You didn't mean to say goodbye
Highlighting the unexpected nature of the departure without a proper goodbye.
You just said goodnight and you closed your eyes
Describing the departure as a simple goodnight and closing of eyes.
The empty place that you left inside
Emphasizing the persistent emptiness left by the departed.
Couldn't fill it up no matter how I tried
Expressing the inability to fill the void left by the departed.
White Lightning Flying High Again
Referencing specific songs associated with the departed.
With Whiskey In The Jar and a pill for the pain
Connecting the departed to music and substances for coping.
Too long gone
Reiterating the prolonged absence of the departed.
Ah yeah, you been too long gone
Affirming the extended duration of the absence.
You had a fire in your soul
Acknowledging the departed's intense passion for rock and roll.
That burned for rock and roll
Describing the fervent dedication and love for rock and roll.
You been too long gone
Reiterating the sentiment of the prolonged absence.
Too long gone
Expressing that the absence has been enduring.
Ah yeah, you been too long gone
Reiterating the extended duration of the absence.
You had a fire in your soul
Acknowledging the departed's passionate spirit for rock and roll.
That burned for rock and roll
Describing the intense passion and dedication to rock and roll.
You been too long gone
Reiterating the sentiment that the absence has been enduring.
