It's Been A Long Time

(album: Young, Guitar Days - 2001)

It's been a long time
Since we stood beside the water
The sun going down
Was burning peaceful and slow
And the shadows of evening
Were creeping around us
It's been a long time
It's been a mighty long time

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

Turning wheels, rolling hard
Flying 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
Reaching out, it's love in vain
I can't connect, I can't explain

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

It's been a long time
I look around, I'm getting older
Remembering fun
And tryna find it again
Looking in through the doorways
And talking to strangers
It's been a long time
It's been a mighty long
