(it's Been A) Long Time

Don't seem like so long ago

It's a night dream

I said the feeling would grow

For a lifetime

There were blue skies

'Til 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 the feeling drift away

Drift away now darlin'

Still seems like the other day

When you told me

You were going away

There was somethin' wrong

I'm growin' tired of this

New game, baby

Please don't put me through it again

It's been too long

It's been a long time, a long time, a long time

It's been a long time

Why did you leave

I said it's going to be fine

Didn't believe you so we cut the lines

And let the feeling slip away
