It's been a long time since
I saw you in the village playing mandolin
Something in your singing
Hanging on to every words across your lips
Feels like a long way gone,
But I can still remember how you sang that song
Smiling, like nobody ever done you wrong
Strumming like you knew you had me all along
I keep your picture close
I like to have it with me when I'm far from home
Listen, you's the hardest thing I've ever known
I hate to think about you being all alone
So I'll take the last train back
I'll wake you when I get there cause I miss you bad
I need to feel you more than I ever had
Counting every sparkle on the railroad tracks
I never dreamt a second to a better sight
And stumbling on your singing in the lone street light
Search through a thousand lights
I never found a way to make it sound just right
There'll never be a minute when I'm no surprised
To know that you still feel the same
