about

This came from a dream (where it was sung powerfully by a woman to a thumping Tamla-Mowtown backing). When I woke I wrote it all down almost verbatim. Thank you, dream, from wherever you came—I wouldn’t have written such a song otherwise.

Title track of Storm Thieves album, originally released October 10, 1995

lyrics

Long Time

Well you know it’s been a long time since you said you loved me
Well you know it’s been a long time we walked together

And I don’t know oh, if I can pass that way again
I don’t know, I know but I do miss you holding me
Do it again, ’cause you know it’s been a long time

Well, no I just don’t remember when I saw the light of honesty
Well, no I just don’t remember when I broke that thread that leads me home

And I don’t know oh, if I can just dive down again
And maybe find… the end
I don’t know, if I can reach inside myself
To bring it home, bring it home to you

I know you know me too well for talking, so you say
“Shut your mouth, and come right over and hold me…
“Do it again, well I want you to do it again”

‘Cause you know it’s been a long time well, since that telephone carried your voice
Well you know it’s been a long time since we stepped across the threshold

Well that was then, so many years have come and gone
This is now, and yes, and I do miss you holding me
Do it again, well I want you to do it again

Well you know it’s been a long time since you said you loved me, yeah
You loved me, you loved me, you loved me
Well you know it’s been a long time, long time, long time, long time…

Well you know it’s been a long… time…
Well it’s been a long time
