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…
…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…

…]
It's been a long time, been a long time coming
It's been a long time, it's been a long time
[Verse 2]
Breathing…
…in tandem, floating
Seeing you closer here
This is subconscious knowing
Distance can disappear
[Chorus x4]
It's been a long time, been…
…a long time coming
It's been a long time, it's been a long time
It's been a long time
[Verse 3]
How am I supposed to live the same after…

…and then You say it's
Time to be yourself
And it's been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long time for me
You've opened my eyes…
And I've realized
It's been a long time to see
Who I am.....
I know there's a little boy in me trapped deep inside
Yes I know…
…to step outside
And it's been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long time for me
You've opened my eyes
And I've realized
It's been a long…

…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…
…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…

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…
…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…
…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…

…'cause I can feel it too
You're my strength, my foundation, you're my power
[Chorus]
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long…
…time coming
It's been a long time coming, baby
We've got to hold on
We're gonna make it if we hold on to each other
[Verse 2…
…watching over you and me
'Cause we got love and inspiration by the hour
[Chorus]
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time…

Hi, it's been a long time,
you're looking fine,
Proud as any woman should be,
proud of womankind.
My, your hair is longer now…
…
it's prettier by far,
Hope you don't feel too unusual
riding in my flash car.
Hi, it's been a long time,
you're looking good…
…it would be
pretty to touch you.
Hi, it's been a long time,
you're looking fine,
Proud as any woman should…

From the album the hurdy gurdy man
Hi, it's been a long time, you're looking fine,
Proud as any woman should…
…you,
Now as then I feel it would be pretty to touch you.
Hi, it's been a long time, you're looking fine,
Proud as any woman should…
…it's understandable,
I'm amazed you spend your days keeping up all the "cod".
Hi, it's been a long time
Hi, it's been a long…

…It's been a long time, baby
Since I held you tight
It's been a long time, baby
Since I held you tight
I miss you every morning…
…It's been a long time
Since I held you tight
I miss you in the morning
But I miss you more at night
It's been a long time, baby…
Since you held you tight
Yes, it's been a long time, baby
Since you held you tight
I miss you every morning
But I miss you more at night…

…it started to rain
We were on the right track
But we got hit by the train
Musta been the wrong time
It's been a long time, a long time…
…a long time
It's been a long time
Why did ya leave
I said it's got to be mine
You didn't believe me
So we cut the line
Let…
…the feeling drift away
It's been a long time
Since you came on to me
I haven't got the time
Why don't you let it be
Cut the lines
Let…

…It's been a long time
Since I opened the window
Next to my bed
Since I spent the whole day
Just feelin' the sun shift on my head…
Since I've dug my feet in
Into the edge of this continent
It's been a long, long time
It's been a long time
Home…
…up and left
My body, well she up and left
Been a long, long time
It's been a long time
Home is not just where I am anymore
I know…

…gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
And dance on it's grave
And dance on it's grave
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's…
…will be your own
That your sins will be your own
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here…
…time It's been a long time comin', my dear It's been a long time comin', but now it's here It's been a long time comin', my dear It's been a long…

…gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
And dance on it's grave
And dance on it's grave
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's…
…will be your own
That your sins will be your own
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here…
And I ain't gonna fuck it up this time
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here…
