Took a Long Time Songtext
von Magna Carta

I left my home in the wide north country
Turned my back on the nine to five
I said goodbye to child horizon
I must have made enough to stay alive
But you and I were friends from way back
Just drinking coffee through the dawn
Putting right the wrongs in the laughter and the songs
That said all we knew, all we believed in

And you know it took a long time, took a long time just to know you
Took a long time, took a long time in the end
Took a long time, took a long time just to know you
To know my friend


Now, broken rocks don′t make no highway
And falling stars don't mend the sky
But she is lying here beside me
Don′t ever really have to ask a reason why
So you and I, we should not worry
All things, they say, will find a way
But who knows when it ends, where the road winds, where it bends?
God knows it might roll on forever

And you know it took a long time, took a long time just to know you
Took a long time, took a long time in the end
Took a long time, took a long time just to know you
To know my friend

And it took a long time, took a long time just to know you
Took a long time, took a long time in the end
Took a long time, took a long time just to know you
To know my friend
And it took a long time, took a long time just to know you
Took a long time, took a long time in the end
Took a long time, took a long time just to know you
To know my friend
