Lyrics The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks

Long Time Ago

Guess I got the best of what was taken

Really what is left is almost gone

I guess you figured out that I was faking

All along

So you take a seat but in the middle

And you don't dare push what you might find

The same old scratch, the same old rhythm

Just a different life

And you can't control

What you used to own

'Cause it was such a long time ago

It was such a long time ago

And you couldn't do much 'cause you were in a rush to know

It was such a long time ago

All you ever learned was to deliver

Never really knowing what you have

Now you're left with all that water

From a dirty well

But you can't control

What you used to own

'Cause it was such a long time ago

It was such a long time ago

And you couldn't do much 'cause you were in a rush to know

It was such a long time ago

'Cause it was such a long time ago

It was such a long time ago

And you couldn't do much 'cause you were in a rush to know

It was such a long time ago

It was such a long time ago

It was such a long time
