Alice Is a Long Time Gone - The Incredible String Band

White rabbit smile, white rabbit smile

cry not so loud my lover frowns

I’m a grown up lady from London town

Yet ever more he sang his sad song-

sweet Alice is a long time gone

Oh Alice is gone, gone

Alice is gone, gone

sweet Alice is a long time gone

she was pretty, oh yes

with her flaxen hair, her eyes so fair

her sweet voice and her snow white dress

Oh Alice is gone, gone

Alice is gone, gone

sweet Alice is a long time gone

It’s seven long years

since last I seen your face

no-one in Wonderland

could take your place

but when I see you again

that sets me back apace

sweet Alice is a long time gone

I would exchange my coat of fur

if time would turn or waters burn

I’d wish you back the way you were

Oh Alice is gone, gone

Alice is gone, gone

sweet Alice is a long time gone.
