Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant, although I'm not sure if it really qualifies as a song.

Among the songs over 9 minutes in my iTunes, I'd say all the following are great:

The Decemberists - The Crane Wife 1 & 2
The Decemberists - California One/Youth and Beauty Brigade
Bright Eyes - Let's Not Shit Ourselves (To Love and be Loved)
Cursive - Staying Alive
Josh Ritter - Thin Blue Flame
Flotation Toy Warning - Donald Pleasance

Also, a couple tracks off of Sigur Ros' () qualify.

Good, longer recent SY songs:
Rain on Tin : 7:56
Dripping Dream: 7:46
Pink Steam: 6:57
