The word 'tall' is used to measure the height of something. The word 'long' is used to measure length that is the end-to-end measurement of a thing.
So, tall isn't the synonym of long.

"Tall" means height in a vertical plane. Length is a measurement of distance in a horizontal plane.

Synonyms for tall are: lofty, big, giant, lanky, steep etc
Synonyms for long are: lengthy, elongated, extended, stretched etc
long means length in time and/or space. Example: Her arms are long. He has long legs. It was a long story.
tall means of greater than average height. Example : A building is tall or a person is tall.
But you can get "a tall story"- this means an implausible story.
