It's Been a Long Time Lyrics

It's been a long time
Since we stood beside the water
The sun goin' down
Was burnin' peaceful and slowAnd the shadows of evening
Were creepin' around us
It's been a long time
It's been a mighty long timeIt's been a long time
We used to find it all together
The new and the strange
Lots a gambles and daresAnd the road was a high road
It led to the hilltops
It's been a long time
It's been a mighty long timeTurnin' wheels, rollin' hard
Flyin' down the boulevard
Take it slow, let me breathe
I can't relate, I can't believeDirty snow, city lights
Tower clocks and lonely nights
Reachin' out love in vain

Can't connect, I can't explainIt's been a long time
We used to laugh away the hours
All the summer was kind
And we were kids in the heatAnd the moon was a high moon
It rose in the twilight
It's been a long time
It's been a mighty long timeIt's been a long time
I look around, I'm gettin' older
I'm 23 now, rememberin' fun
And tryna find it againLookin' in through the doorways
And talkin' to strangers
It's been a long time
It's been a mighty long, yeahIt'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
