"Hello Friend" lyrics

Hello Friend

Hello friend
Where you've been so long?
Time goes by
It all seems to sleep away
Just like a shadow
At the end of the day

Hello friend
How are things for you these days?
Some guy from way back when
He mentioned your name
Did he ever get back to you?
Ah, you know, I told him to

Sometimes I turn
And I swear I hear you call
And I often wonder
How we lost what we knew
Seems it's gone in the wind
Washed away in the rain
And the years
Go by and by

The bridges you burned
Long sinced turned into ashes
When there were no reasons
Now the river runs dry
Seems it's gone in the wind
Washed away in the rain
And the years
Go by and by

Where you've been so long?
Ooh
Where you've been so long?
So long
So long
Where you've been?
So long
SO long
Where you've been so long?
