Steve Forbert - It's Been A Long Time lyrics

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
