It`s Been A Long Time — текст песни (Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes)

(S. Van Zandt)

We lived in a time and a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old

Playing cards `till the sun came up, rollin` dice
Down to the club and listen to the blues all night
Girls out on the corner get lonely now and then
We`d never be that free again

It`s been a long time since we laughed together
It`s been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass for the comrades we`ve lost
My friend it`s been a long, long time

Workin` just enough to pay the rent
Money got made, baby, money got spent
Sleeping when we had nothin` left to do
Under the boardwalk and up on the roof

We never quite fit, baby, we never played the game
Came out explodin` like a runaway train
Up all night talkin` about dreams of better days
Ain`t it funny how some things don`t change?

It`s been a long time since we laughed together
It`s been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass for the comrades we`ve lost
My friend it`s been a long, long time

We lived in a time and a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old

It`s been a long time since we laughed together
It`s been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass for the comrades we`ve lost
My friend it`s been a long, long time
