Lyrics: David Crosby
Music: David Crosby
Played by Phil Lesh and Friends in 2013, and as a tribute in 2023 after David Crosby's death.
It's been a long time coming
It's going to be a long time gone
And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
It's a long, long, long, long time
Before the dawn
Turn, turn any corner
Hear, hear what the people say
You know that something is going on around here
It surely won't stand the light of day
And it appears to be a long
Appers to be a long
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long time
Before the dawn
Speak out, you got to speak out against the madness
You got to speak your mind, if you dare
Don't, no don't try to get yourself elected
If you do you had better cut your hair
And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long time
Before the dawn
It's been a long time coming
It's going to be a long time gone
And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
It's a long, long, long, long time
Before the dawn
