Lyrics
It's Been A Long Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I could be a suit of armor
Protect you when the fury's flying
Fly you on a magic carpet
But we're never coming down this time
I could be your own detective
Hang around you all the time
Act just like a secret agent
Protect you from the real bad times
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely time
Baby, I got something special
Something money cannot buy
But you got the price I'm asking
You can be the first in line
I could be a suit of armor
Protect you when the fury's flying
Fly you on a magic carpet
But we're never coming down this time
It could be so very nice
It could be very very nice
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely time
