Lyrics - It's Been a Long Time

It's been a long time since you made a sound,

since you laid me down, since you turned my world around.

It's been a long time.

It's been a long time since you came around

made my heartbeat pound with your hair all flowing down.

It's been a long time.

It's been a long time since I made you smile,

since I drove you wild, O Lord it's been a while.

It's been a long time.

It's been a long time since my blood ran cold

with a lust for life and a fear of growing old.

It's been a long time.

Oh, it's been a long time.

I've had a hard time trying to change my moods

to get up from abuse and kid myself that you lose.

I've had a hard time.

I've had a hard time trying to pick myself up,

trying to not give up and forget my bad luck.

I've had a hard time.

I've had a hard time trying to not feel cold

when the cold wind blows and it chills you to the bone.

I've had a hard time.

I've had a hard time trying to replace you

with the birds and the booze, right now anything will do.

I've had a hard time.

Oh, I've had a hard time.
