It's Been a Long Time

It's been a long time
Since we stood beside the water
The sun going down
Was burning peaceful and slow
And the shadows of evening
Were creeping around us

It's been a long time
It's been a mighty long time
It's been a long time

We used to find it all together
The new and the strange
Lots of 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

Turning wheels, rolling hard
Flying 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
Reaching out, love in vain
Can't connect, I can't explain

It's been a long time

We used to laugh away the hours
Oh, the summer was kind
And we were kids in the heat
And the moon was a high moon
Hey, it rose in the twilight

It's been a long time
It's been a mighty long time
It's been a long time

I look around, I'm getting older
I'm 23 now, remembering fun
And trying to find it again
Looking in through the doorways
And talking to strangers

It's been a long time
It's been a mighty long, yeah
It's been a long time
It's been a keep on again
It's been a long time, yeah
It's been a mighty long time

Alright
