Took a long time
I left my home in the wide north country
turned my back on the nine to five
I said goodbye to child horizons
I must have made enough to stay alive
You and I were friends from way back
just drinking cognac through the dawn
putting right the wrongs in the laughter and the songs
that said all we knew, all we believed in
And you know it took a long time, took a long time, just to know ya
took a long time, took a long time in the end
took a long time, took a long time just to know ya
to know my friend
now broken rocks don't make no highway
and fallen stars don't mend the sky
she is lying here beside me
don't ever really have to ask a reason why
and you and I we should not worry
for all things they say will find a way
who knows where it ends where the road winds where it bends
God knows, it might roll on forever
and you know it took a long time, took a long time, just to know ya
took a long time, took a long time in the end
took a long time, took a long time just to know ya
to know my friend.
It took a long time, took a long time, just to know ya
took a long time, took a long time in the end
took a long time, took a long time just to know ya
to know my friend.
and it took a long time, took a long time, just to know ya
took a long time, took a long time in the end
took a long time, took a long time just to know ya
turned my back on the nine to five
I said goodbye to child horizons
I must have made enough to stay alive
You and I were friends from way back
just drinking cognac through the dawn
putting right the wrongs in the laughter and the songs
that said all we knew, all we believed in
And you know it took a long time, took a long time, just to know ya
took a long time, took a long time in the end
took a long time, took a long time just to know ya
to know my friend
now broken rocks don't make no highway
and fallen stars don't mend the sky
she is lying here beside me
don't ever really have to ask a reason why
and you and I we should not worry
for all things they say will find a way
who knows where it ends where the road winds where it bends
God knows, it might roll on forever
and you know it took a long time, took a long time, just to know ya
took a long time, took a long time in the end
took a long time, took a long time just to know ya
to know my friend.
It took a long time, took a long time, just to know ya
took a long time, took a long time in the end
took a long time, took a long time just to know ya
to know my friend.
and it took a long time, took a long time, just to know ya
took a long time, took a long time in the end
took a long time, took a long time just to know ya
