Lyrics

It's been a long time since I heard another voice
I've been alone a long long time
The voice in my head won't redeem another choice
It's been a long and lonely time

It's been a long time since I've seen another face
I've been nowhere for a while
Every portrait in a book another race
Every page another smile

My mother woke me as a child
The whole world was waiting, for me to arrive
It was all an endless dream
It was all waiting for me, to make it what it seemed

It's been a long time since I smelled your perfume
I wait for my life to resume
I know it must have been a long time ago
But there are no calendars to know

It's been a long time since I felt another's touch
It doesn't bother me that much
Last night I woke up with the shadow of a feel
I know it never will be real

I saw a bird caught in a fence
It was just holding on, its body was so tense
It doesn't have to be so
And when the time is right, I guess I will just go

It's been a long time, since it's been a long time
It's been years on the move
There's nothing marking the passage of my life
Just the memories that go
