(S. Van Zandt)



We lived in a time and a world of our own

Making up the rules as we went along

Just one coat between us and we never felt cold

We were never gonna get old



Playing cards 'till the sun came up, rollin' dice

Down to the club and listen to the blues all night

Girls out on the corner get lonely now and then

We'd never be that free again



It's been a long time since we laughed together

It's been a long time since we cried

Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost

My friend it's been a long, long time 



Workin' just enough to pay the rent

Money got made, baby, money got spent

Sleeping when we had nothin' left to do

Under the boardwalk and up on the roof



We never quite fit, baby, we never played the game

Came out explodin' like a runaway train

Up all night talkin' about dreams of better days

Ain't it funny how some things don't change?



It's been a long time since we laughed together

It's been a long time since we cried

Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost

My friend it's been a long, long time



We lived in a time and a world of our own

Making up the rules as we went along

Just one coat between us and we never felt cold

We were never gonna get old



It's been a long time since we laughed together

It's been a long time since we cried 

Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost

My friend it's been a long, long time
