It's Been a Long Time Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

It′s been a long time
Since I opened the 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 being a long time

Home is not just where I am anymore
I know how to get there
And it′s where I wanna be
It′s where the river kisses the ocean
Where I feel small, I feel blessed
And I feel like me


It's been a long, long time
I can′t remember
When all this runnin' started
But it took about eight years
For something in me to slip
I gave all I could give

But then I just kept givin′
'Til I woke up one day to find
My body had up and left
My body, ooh, 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
Where the river kisses the ocean
Where I feel small, I feel blessed
And I feel like me

Been a long, long time
And it's been a long time
Long, 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
Helping me get level
To help me to get right
Been a long time
It's been a long, long time
It′s been a long time
