'LONG GONE' written and performed by Rob Dokter.avi

Track from my 1st solo-CD 'Just as i am (some raw gems' released in 2000.

I used to write a lot of future-songs as i call them ... never understood the words or true meaning to a lot of songs, which is quite spooky in fact. Only later, mostly years later, i am in a certain situation that fits some of the songs i wrote.. Here's another example .. Only now the true meaning hits me .. and it hits me hard .. 'grabbin' at loose ends now.. and .. long gone..'

LYRICS to 'LONG GONE' (written by Rob Dokter) (c)

I've been walking a million miles to see the mystery unfold.
Felt the cold that can rise in the dead of night when there's no-one left to hold.

Just lookin' for a sign of you, just where did you leave your mark?
There's screams and laughter up a-yonder babe, but this ol'dog lost his will to bark

Crossed the line of every state i know, always on the go
But this ol'world just flows on by me love and i believe my mind is gonna blow.

Lookin' for a sign of you, just where did you leave your mark?
There's screams and laughter up a-yonder babe, but this ol'dog lost his will to bark

And it's so doggone lonesome all the way down
Yes it's so doggone lonesome grabbin' at loose ends
Long Gone

I hope you found your green pasture now in some paradise faraway
Without me fiddlin' around you all day, but i'm still makin' these miles and miles ...

I hope you found your greener pasture now in some paradise far away
I'm glad for your sake you've found a smile somehow, without me fiddlin' around all day

And it's so doggone lonesome being all the way down
Yes it's so doggone lonesome grabbin' at loose ends now
Long Gone
