We lived in a time in a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us
and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old
Playin' cards till the sun
came up and rollin' dice
Dancin' in club,
listenin' to the blues all night
Girls out on the corner
got lonely now and then
We'd never be that free again
Been a long time since we left together
Been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass to the
comrades we've lost
My friend, it's been a long,
long time
Workin' just enough to pay the rent
Money got made, baby,
money got spent
Sleepin' when we had
nothin' else to do
Under the boardwalk and up on the roof
Well, we never quite fit,
we never played the game
Came out explodin' like a runaway train
Up all night talkin' bout
dreams of better days
Ain't it funny how some things
don't change?
It's been a long time since
we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried
Raise the glass for the comrades we lost
My friend, it's been a long, long time
We lived in a time well abound
A million other rules as we went along
Just one coat between us
and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old
Been a long time since we
laughed together
Been a long time since we cried
Raise a glass to the comrades we've lost,
My friend it's been a long, long time.
Been a long time since we
laughed together,
Been a long time since we cried.
My friend, it's been a long, long time
My friend, it's been a long, long time
My friend, it's been a long, long time
