It's Been A Long Time

[gemfyre]

We lived in a time in a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old

Playin' cards 'till the sun came up and rollin' dice
Down to the club and listen to the blues all night
Girls out on the corner get lonely now and again
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 to the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been a long long time

Workin' just enough to pay the rent
Money got made baby money got spent
Sleeping when we had nothin' left to do
Under the boardwalk and up on the roof

We never quite fit baby, we never played the game
Came out explodin' like a runaway train
Up all night talkin' 'bout 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 time since we cried
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been a long, long time

We lived in a time, and a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old

It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been a long, long time
