It’s Been a Long Time

It's been a long time
A little like wine
Not something I thought I'd come back to again
I turned back the clocks
When I opened up the box
A piece of me hidden away like a gem
I guess I'll have another round

So let's hang up all the pictures
Even the ones we threw away
Things will never be the same
After the day that you find
It's been a long time

It's been a long time
And still it's benign
The sharpest parts hurt slightly less than before
Without being numb
To the way the colors run
It's good to know nothing got lost on the shore
Don't have to go to sea and drown

So let's hang up all the pictures
Even the ones we threw away
Things will never be the same
After the day that you find
It's been a long time
