about

It’s coming on Christmas. They’re cutting down trees…Survival in the city blues.

lyrics

Been a Long Time

Been a long time
that I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of this push and shove
And being in this city
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me

Now they’re trying to take away
Our heart and soul
Freedom’s in decline
As they take more control
And being in this life
Ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
If you’re not here with me.

The fall is coming
It’s a long long long way down
To my winter coat I bow
And the plows are lying in wait
But for now I’ll just pour a cup
And think of all the days, love
When I was in your warm arms
With the fire ablaze.

Been a long time that
I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of this push and shove
And being in this city
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me

If I can make it to spring
That would be a thing of beauty
And this cold goes right Through me

Autumn is on us
The brilliant colors jog the memory
A reminder to stock up
And get me at least to the summer days
But for now I’ll just pour another one
Think of all the nights
When I was in your warm arms
With the fire ablaze

Been a long time that
I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of this push and shove
And being in this city
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me

Been a long time that
I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of the push and shove
And being in this town
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me

Now they’re trying to take away
Our heart and soul
Freedom’s in decline
As they take more control
And being in this life
ain’t all that it’s cracked up to be
If you’re not here with me.
Been a long time that
I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of the push and shove
And being in this town
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me
It’s been a long time without your love, child
I stayed inside and outside
Stayed inside
And being in this life
ain’t all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me.
