It's been a long time since I heard another voice I've been alone a long long time The voice in my head won't redeem another choice It's been a long and lonely time

It's been a long time since I've seen another face I've been nowhere for a while Every portrait in a book another race Every page another smile

My mother woke me as a child The whole world was waiting, for me to arrive It was all an endless dream It was all waiting for me, to make it what it seemed

It's been a long time since I smelled your perfume I wait for my life to resume I know it must have been a long time ago But there are no calendars to know

It's been a long time since I felt another's touch It doesn't bother me that much Last night I woke up with the shadow of a feel I know it never will be real

I saw a bird caught in a fence It was just holding on, its body was so tense It doesn't have to be so And when the time is right, I guess I will just go

It's been a long time, since it's been a long time It's been years on the move There's nothing marking the passage of my life Just the memories that go
