Ian Stuart - Long Time Gone lyrics

If I was a man who’d been away for Twenty years or more And then I’d come back once again And I saw the changes that had happened since I’d gone Well I’d think I’d gone insane (chorus) What happened to my country, what happened to my land What happened to my nation, well I can’t understand When I went away, everything was Pure and clean And now there’s rubbish all around Where there was light, now suddenly it’s dark Yeah this land is going down, down, down, down (chorus) Instrumental break (chorus) I tried to come to terms with what Has happened through the years But I still think that it is wrong That a land that once was proud and free and cared for all its own Now cares more for the ones who don’t belong, don’t belong (chorus)
