lyrics

Been So Long

once i still believed in love
or that was the name we used
now i bless the gift of breath
and i keep myself amused

i embraced the words they sang
of two entwined as one
now i walk these barren hills
wrapped tight against the sun

been so long since wine and roses
been so long since we fed the flame
been so long since this heart exploded
been so long since i heard her name

no i’ve not forgotten
how that cold ending burned
i kicked up above the waves
and i never have returned

been so long since wine and roses
been so long since we fed the flame
been so long since this heart exploded
been so long since i heard her name

i received her letter
which sped me back so far
did we really drive away
tin cans behind the car

been so long since wine and roses
been so long since we fed the flame
been so long since this heart exploded
been so long since i heard her name 2X
