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 slow

And the shadows of evening
Were creepin' 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 a 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

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 nightsSteve Forbert - It's Been A Long Time - http://motolyrics.com/steve-forbert/its-been-a-long-time-lyrics.html
Reachin' out love in vain
Can't connect, I can't explain

It's been a long time
We used to laugh away the hours
All 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

It's been a long time
I look around, I'm gettin' older
I'm 23 now, 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, 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
