Hello friend, where you been so long?

Time goes by, so easy it sleeps away

Just like a shadow at the end of the day

Hello friend, how are things for you these days?

Some guy from way-back-when, he mentioned your name

Did he ever get back to you?

Ah, you know I told him to

Sometimes I turn and I swear I hear you call

And I often wonder how we lost what we knew

Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain

And the years go by and by

The bridges you burned, long sinced turned into ashes

When there were no reasons, now the river runs dry

Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain

And the years go by and by

Where you been so long
