Been a Long Time

Been a long time in your mother's care
And your father smiled while you brush your hair
Went for a drive, go down to see the fair
Come back again, won't find me anywhere

It's been a long time since you've stood in front of me
In that airport lounge where you asked to be free
And I watched the ground leaving me behind
But I can't believe I was so unkind

It's been a long time
I'm older now; what am I supposed to do?
But I don't know how my friends all say that I'm doing fine
But it's been a long time

This side of hate flashes green and white
And I won't stay fading out of sight
One thing I've known, this much is true
Been a long time since I needed you

"Oh, that's alright," I told my friend
Would it be so good if it didn't end?
I'm not Superman, I miss you all the time
In another day further down the line

It's been a long time
I'm older now; what am I supposed to do?
But I don't know how my friends all say that I'm doing fine
But it's been a long time
