steve forbert - it's been a longtime 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
