Melissa Ferrick - It's Been A Long Time lyrics

rate me

Long, Long Time

It's been a long, long time

Since I opened a window

Next to my bed

Since I spent the whole day

Just feelin' the sun shift on my head

Since I've dug my feet in

Into the edge of this continent

It's been a long, long time

It's been a long time

Home is not just where I am anymore

I know how to get there

It's where I wanna be

It's where the river (just) kisses the ocean

Where I feel small

I feel blessed

And I feel like me

It's been a long, long time

Cause I can't remember

When all this runnin' started

But it took about 8 years

For something in me to slip

See I gave all I could give

But then I just kept givin'

So I woke up one day to find

My body had up and left

My body, she up and left

Been a long, long time

It's been a long time

Home is not just where I am anymore

I know how to get there

It's where I wanna be

It's where the river (just) kisses the ocean

Where I feel small

I feel blessed

And I feel like me

Been a long, long time

It's been a long time

Cause I ain't no good to you sober

If I just medicate my life

So I'm askin' for some help here

Would you help me get level

Help me to get right

Help me to get right

Long, long, long time

Been a long, long time

It's been a long time
