LYRIC:

Summer nights we'd hang around our usual crowd
Doing our level best to look surly
Killing time by kicking walls and talking loud
Wishing to hell our hair wasn't curly
We laughed at the same old stories time and again
Together so much we believed we'd be always friends

And what can I say to you now?
What can I say to you now?
It's been a long long time
Too long

What can I say to you now?
What can I say to you now?
It's been a long long time
Too long

We both got weekend jobs to raise the money down
Me for my first guitar, you for your bike
But in the end I never even knew that you'd left town
I tried to call you once, but - you know what it's like
No-one at your number knew your name
For all I knew you'd gone over the high side in the rain

And what can I say to you now?
What can I say to you now?
It's been a long long time
Too long

And what can I say to you now?
What can I say to you now?
It's been a long long time
Too long
Too long
Too long
