The Pretty Things - It's Been So Long lyrics

I went down to the muddy river Where the blind fish do swim I saw the face on the drowning moon And I nearly jumped in Sad sirens on the water They call to me through the night They sing of you, their song is blue And so is the pain It 's been so long Oh Lord, won't you help me Now I'm in such distress My song is blue, and so are you That's why I'm in such a mess It 's been so long Out in the moonlight Beside Macadam highway You put out your thumb, Maggie Baby You sure went a long way The neon angel pa**ed you by He said old river seemed to sigh Separated, from you past We sometimes die It 's been so long
