It's Been A Long Time

So did you follow the sun

Like you told them you would

Only halfway to California baby

With Soul did you write that big song

Like you told them you could

On the streets of Chicago's northside Maybe

So did you figure things out

Oh trying to write your wrongs

Yeah

I know it's been a long time

Yeah I know it's been a long and lonely time

It's been so long

It's been so long

With short phone calls home

You keep the money on tap

Cause you'll be bringing it back now baby

So did you set the world on fire

Like you told them you would

Like you knew that you could now baby

Yeah

I know it's been a long time

Yeah I know it's been a long and lonely time

It's been so long

It's been so long

Sick of this love that holds you down

You bite your tongue and I stare at the ground

Fed up with all this you'll find yours just give her time and settle down

All she knows is she saw her face and the world stood still in its time and place

and the world

Yeah

The world stood still

Yeah

I know it's been a long time

Yeah I know it's been a long and lonely time

It's been so long

It's been so long
