The Marble Tea - Gone So Long

There's dust upon my memory
But you blew it off when we sat down to talk
Every ringing tone from your voice
Opened up a door that I'd forgot
Gone so long
Gone so long
In secret forts by railroad tracks
We'd light a fire and wait for bells to ring
Signaling the changing of the subjects
And the stoning of the kings
Everybody knew that this was never meant to last
Everybody knew
Except for you
There're fickle creeks and battered cheeks
That never end their never-ending taunts
There're faces that remained and there are places
That we named our favorite haunts
Gone so long
Gone so long
Gone so long
Gone so long
And I never never never never never said
I never never never never never said
I never never never never never said
This is where we belong
Time has been a blinking eye
That winks and stares and sometimes falls asleep
The best that we have done is never catalogued
It wasn't made to keep
Everybody knew that this was never meant to last
Everybody knew
Except for you
Gone so long
Gone so long
Gone so long
Gone so long
