Long Lost Friend Songtext
von The Kyteman Orchestra

Long lost friend of mine
You discovered I′m doing fine.
I'd like your number back
But I know for a fact
It′s impossible to be there all the time
So, counting on you
Wouldn't feel justified.
You know you let me down one too many times. But
I don't blame you for what we left behind. See,
I′m lookin for the answers in my own mind.
Maybe something is missing in me.
It ain′t love I lack, I can love you back
But when I think of how you've escaped
I can see how you′ve been losing track
With all this travelling from here to there, long lost friend.


I wish that we could jump back in our time machine;
[Where have you been,]
Unwaste the precious minutes of the lives we lead;
[All this time,]
Spend them sharing our force constructively
[Friend of mine?]
'Cause in the end we are just what we got to be.

No disregard, no disrespect
To memories that we reflect.
Yes, we once were good friends
But that ship has sailed again.
It didn′t work this time around
But that don't mean that we failed.
If it′s love that's prevailed
There's no way to jeopardize
The history we made for so long. I′ve,
Carried it around while you were gone. Can you,
Remember when we saw nothing wrong?
We′ve been drifting away from our songs.
Can you still recall, the sound of miracles?
You had me wondering why you left.
We've been running hard, right from the start.
Guess you needed to catch your breath, long lost friend.


I wish that we could jump back in our time machine;
[Where have you been,]
Unwaste the precious minutes of the lives we lead;
[All this time,]
Spend them sharing our force constructively
[Friend of mine?]
′Cause in the end we are just what we got to be.

We've been through different journeys
And now we meet again.
Is there some love left for us?
What′s making us pretend?
Our differences need some room.
Let's take a walk and get back in tune.
If we′ll ever face it now's the time.
Long lost friend of mine.

Are we ok, or are we
Unspoken enemies?
Please don't come here to judge me
And drain my energy.
While the thought of you makes me smile,
All the same it can break me down.
I′m just telling you what′s on my mind.
Long lost friend of mine.

Are we ok, or are we
Unspoken enemies?
Please don't come here to judge me
And drain my energy.
While the thought of you makes me smile,
All the same it can break me down.
I′m just telling you what's on my mind.
Long lost friend of mine.
