Long Lost Friend by The Kyteman Orchestra Lyrics
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;
[Where have you been,]
Unwaste the precious minutes of the lives we lead;
[all this time,]
Spend them sharing our force constructively
[friend of mine?]
‘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;
[Where have you been,]
Unwaste the precious minutes of the lives we lead;
[all this time,]
Spend them sharing our force constructively
[friend of mine?]
‘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
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
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
