It's Been A Long Time (Live at Brendan Byrne Arena, E. Rutherford, NJ - 6/24/1993)
Lyrics
We lived in a time and a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us, but we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old, no
Playing cards till the sun came up, rolling dice
Going down to the club and listening to blues all night
You know the girls out on the corner get lonely now and then
We'd never be that free again, no
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried, yeah
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend, it's been a long, long time
Working just enough, just enough to pay a little rent there
You know what? Money got made, baby, and money got spent
We had nothing better to do
Under the boardwalk and up on the roof, no
We never quite fit, and we never ever played a game
Came out rolling like a runaway train
You would know we'd be up all night talking about dreams of better days
Ain't it funny how some things don't change?
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend, it's been a long, long, long time, yeah
We lived in a time and a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we've cried
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend, it's been a long, long, oh
It's been a long time since we laughed together
Been a long time since we've cried
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend, it's been a long, long time
Yeah, it's been a long, long time
Yes, it has, yes, it has, baby
I want to, you can raise your glass, darling
It's been a long time since we laughed together
Been a long time since we've cried (I know it has, darling)
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend, it's been a long, long time (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's been a long time since we laughed together (It's been a long time, such a long time, babe)
Been a long time since we've cried (Everything gonna be all right now, girl)
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend, it's been a long, long time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you
Baby
Thank you very much
Thank you, Bruce, for having me here tonight
