Long Time Lyrics

You like an army
Occupy my mind
The quietness of time
And I wish I could ignore you
And the impression that you made in my life

Cos it's been a long time
A long time coming around
And whether its the right time
Or the wrong time, the time is now

But you say it's important
Oh to focus on yourself
And no one else
But if this makes me happy
Oh I ask you then do I have a choice?

Cos it's been a long time
A long time coming around
And whether its the right time
Or the wrong time, the time is now

And you say who's gonna bring me water now?
You say who?
And you say who's gonna bring me water now?
Oh you will work it out, somehow.

Cos it's been a long time
A long time coming around
And whether its the right time
Or the wrong time, the time is now
Cos maybe the right time
Has just come around

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The melody to this song sounds very similar to "The Woman At The Well". .. "who's going to bring me water now?" that line seems to hint a connection. i think this song is about a person having the upper hand in the relationship. they seem to push their beliefs/opinions on the protagonist. & they have left a lasting, unwanted, impression on this person. the protagonist may have had enough of putting up with this person's domineering ways, & the "time" has come for them to speak up & remove themself from the relationship.

Oh, wow. I didn't even notice The Woman By The Well had the same melody. What an observation!

Ah, I've always liked this little hidden track. Nice way to end the album.
