VERSE
|
It's been a long time
|
Since we stood beside the water
|
The sun goin' down
|
Was burnin' peaceful and slow
|
And the shadows of evening
|
Were creepin' around us
|
It's been a long time
|
It's been a mighty long time
|
|
VERSE
|
It's been a long time
|
We used to find it all together
|
The new and the strange
|
Lotsa gambles and dares
|
And the road was a high road
|
It led to the hilltops
|
It's been a long time
|
It's been a mighty long time
|
|
BRIDGE
|
Turnin' wheels, rollin' hard
|
Flyin' down the boulevard
|
Take it slow, let me breathe
|
I can't relate, I can't believe
|
Dirty snow, city lights
|
Tower clocks and lonely nights
|
Reachin' out, it's love in vain
|
I can't connect, I can't explain
|
|
VERSE
|
It's been a long time
|
We used to laugh away the hours
|
The summer was kind
|
And we were kids in the heat
|
And the moon was a high moon
|
It rose in the twilight
|
It's been a long time
|
It's been a mighty long time
|
|
VERSE
|
It's been a long time
|
I look around, I'm gettin' older
|
Rememberin' fun
|
And tryna find it again
|
Lookin' in through the doorways
|
And talkin' to strangers
|
It's been a long time
|
It's been a mighty long
|
