Been To Long

Kiss me once Then kiss me twice Then kiss me once again It's been a long, long time Haven't felt like this my dear Since can't remember when It's been a long, long time You'll never know How many dreams I dreamed about you (ooh-ooh, ooh) Or just how empty they all seemed without you So kiss me once Then kiss me twice Then kiss me once again It's been a long, long time

I don't know what I was thinking Leaving my child behind Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind With all this anger, guilt and sadness Coming to haunt me forever I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river Is this revenge I'm seeking Or seeking someone to avenge me? Stuck in my own paradox I wanna set myself free Or maybe, I should chase and find Before they try to stop it It won't be long before I become their puppet It's been so long Since I last have seen my son Lost to this monster To the man behind the slaughter Since you've been gone I've been singing this stupid song So I could ponder the sanity of your mother I wish I lived in the present With the gift of my past mistakes But the future keeps lurking in like a pack of snakes Your sweet little eyes Your little smile's all I remember Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper Justification is killing me But killing isn't justified What happened to my son? I'm terrified It lingers in my mind And the thought keeps on getting bigger I'm sorry, my sweet baby I wish I'd been there It's been so long Since I last have seen my son Lost to this monster To the man behind the slaughter Since you've been gone I've been singing this stupid song So I could ponder the sanity of your mother

I know I've been gone a while, honey And things just might have changed But I've still got my love for you And I've still got this ring For forty long days, and forty long nights Lord, I've cried, these walkaway tears While I curse the miles that put you behind me And finally, brought me here It's been a long time My love, my friend But you're on my mind Like you've always been Every day You're not by my side Is killing me slowly It's been a long time In a bar full of strangers, for another damn dollar I've been breaking these hearts every night And covering wounds, that everyone sees And I couldn't hide if I tried For forty long days, and forty long nights Lord, I've tried to find my way home And wondering what, ever got me to leaving And what'll break these traveling bones It's been a long time My love, my friend But you're on my mind Like you've always been Every day You're not by my side Is killing me slowly It's been a long time So I'm headed back home It's been a long time
