Jonathan Top - Long Time Lyrics

I went to watch the sun come up today
Watch the darkness crack and run away
It was cold and it was lonely but I stayed
I'd had just about enough of yesterday

It took a long time
It took a long time

Tried to sleep but all I saw was your face
And memories of an intimate embrace
Invading every corner of my brain
Like trying to wash out the most maddening of stains

It took a long time
It took a long time

This seems as good as any place
To simply watch and simply wait
For a glimpse of a sunrise
Lighting up these darkened eyes
I want to see a brand new sky

Kept a steady eye on the horizon line
But I barely saw the smallest sign of light
I kept clinging to this stupid hope of mine
That with the sunrise it was gonna be alright

It started with a color change so small
No one might have noticed it at all
Inch by inch I saw the night's downfall
And as I watched I gently let go of your call

It took a long long time
It took a long long time

And with every brighter hue,
Overcoming the dark blue
Every sunray breaking through
Into the blinding morning view
I forgot a little more of you

This seems as good as any place
To forget about your face
Want a glimpse of a sunrise
To Light up these darkened eyes
I want to see a brand new sky

It took a long long time
It took a long long time
It took a long long time
It took a long long time
