Been A Long Time does have good lyrics like all TBC songs but I like it more for its sound -- it just pumps you up and makes you want to get up. If I had to pick, I'd say "Low country blushing bride / Blind to the ways of time" are my favourite lyrics of the song... and I'm sure you can guess why. I just love the imagery because it goes along with this entire "go west" mentality of the last two (er, three...) TBC albums...that whole providence thing. I still can't believe how good BTF/UTF are -- just, wow.
Earthbound wingless dream
Child born to necessity
Tied to crimson velvet wings
She flies
New moon midnight star
Medicine is in the jar
Head full of going far
She flies
Lost out on the dream road
Looking for a key hole
Never try to fight it
Feeling right inside it
Low country blushing bride
Blind to the ways of time
Clear crystal burning mind
She flies
Falling through liquid air
With music everywhere
Stone faces silent stare
She flies
The old guard on the hill
Can feel the chill
Deep into the freeze
Of those who don't believe
Been a long time
Waiting on love
Been a long time
Waiting on love
Been a long time
Waiting on love
Damp with this morning dew
The world is bright and new
Her word is always true
She flies
Step into the new day
Right over the old way
We are the horizon
See our future smiling
Been a long time
Waiting on love
Been a long time
Waiting on love
Been a long time
Waiting on love
Been a long time
Lost out on the dream road
Looking through the key hole
Never try to fight it
Feeling right inside it
Been a long time
Waiting on love
Been a long time
Waiting on love
Been a long time
Waiting on love
