[Verse 1]
It's been a long, long time
Since you left for the South
And within my mind
There just isn't a doubt

[Verse 2]
She's forgotten what
I am just findin' out
Such a long, long time
Ago

[Verse 3]
Y'know, she used to be
My purpose in life
Such a friend to me
That it didn't seem right

[Verse 4]
How could she bring clouds
That shut out the light
Such a long, long time
Ago

[Verse 5]
I said it's been a long, long, long, long, long time
Since I thought about her
And I know that I'm
Just a soul that's been hurt
[Verse 6]
By the hand of time
From my moment of birth
Such a long, long time
Ago
