It's Been A Long Time

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
