Long Lost Friend - The Kyteman Orchestra

Long lost friend of mine

you discovered I’m doing fine.

I’d like your number back

But I know for a fact

it’s impossible to be there all the time

so, counting on you

wouldn’t feel justified.

You know you let me down one too many times.

But

I don’t blame you for what we left behind.

See,

I’m lookin for the answers in my own mind.

Maybe something is missing in me.

It ain’t love I lack, I can love you back

but when I think of how you’ve escaped

I can see how you’ve been losing track

with all this travelling from here to there, long lost friend.

I wish that we could jump back in our time machine;

unwaste the precious minutes of the lives we lead;

spend them sharing our force constructively

‘cause in the end we are just what we got to be.

No disregard, no disrespect

to memories that we reflect.

Yes, we once were good friends

but that ship has sailed again.

It didn’t work this time around

but that don’t mean that we failed.

If it’s love that’s prevailed

there’s no way to jeopardize

the history we made for so long.

I’ve,

carried it around while you were gone.

Can you,

remember when we saw nothing wrong?

We’ve been drifting away from our songs.

Can you still recall, the sound of miracles?

You had me wondering why you left.

We’ve been running hard, right from the start.

Guess you needed to catch your breath, long lost friend.

I wish that we could jump back in our time machine;

unwaste the precious minutes of the lives we lead;

spend them sharing our force constructively

‘cause in the end we are just what we got to be.

We’ve been through different journeys

and now we meet again.

Is there some love left for us?

What’s making us pretend?

Our differences need some room.

Let’s take a walk and get back in tune.

If we’ll ever face it now’s the time.

Long lost friend of mine.

Are we ok, or are we

unspoken enemies?

Please don’t come here to judge me

and drain my energy.

While the thought of you makes me smile,

all the same it can break me down.

I’m just telling you what’s on my mind.

Long lost friend of mine.
