Story behind the song
This track is a perfect example of the early days when all the recordings were conducted on a 33' Sailboat docked in the Los Angeles Harbor. It was the rock-ingest boat in the Harbor and still is to this very day 11 years later. Lyrical subject When a woman is tired of warning signals sent to her man and reached wits end, there's no turning back for the inevitable end. This is witnessed by a good friend to this man in subject and his warning of it's a long long time healing is what is in store for his friend. So when my friend and partner was watching me perform this recorded version he knew who the intended recipient of the message was meant to be...
Lyrics
A Long, Long Time ©2001 By Shane O’Brien “Yeah, this one’s for you Jimmy” I found out many years ago, when your baby let you go Don’t fight the feeling, it’ll only break your heart Don’t mean to say I told you But you knew it from the start Seams to always work out this way Just as sure as the sun comes up in the mornin’ I don’t want to cry no more, ‘cause I know it don’t do no good I’ll just suck it up and take it, ‘cause I know I’m a man And I thought I understood I never thought that it would end this way I was taken by surprise, when I heard my baby say She told me I had to go now, she said I had to get outta town And don’t bother asking me, she said she couldn’t explain I don’t think you meant to hurt me now I was just one of those things --------- She said. Now as I look back She said don’t hurt yourself by trippin’ and thinkin’ All women are the same. It’s that attitude where you’re slippin’ Recognize it or you’ll only have, only have yourself to blame It’s a long, long time. Just a long time baby What a long, long time. I love you anyway I’m still here for you darling, it’s a long time healin’ ya
