Long Time Lyrics

Went to the river
Stayed away for a long time
A long time,
And no-one knows why she has gone from me
No-one knows, nobody cares except her
And she's been away a long time
Said a long time

Wondered what the time was
Looked at my watch it was the wrong time,
The wrong time,
And lately all the things I do go bad,
They go bad, nothing is good, except her
And she's been away a long time
Said a long time

Maybe if things were to turn out right
I wouldn't be here by the river
But I'm the kind of guy, who'd take a long time
To forgive her.
