It`s Been A Long Time — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

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
