It's Been So Long (Nina Rennalds version)

I don't know what I was thinking,
Leaving my father to fight.
But now I suffer the curse,
And now I am blind.

With all this anger, guilt, and sadness
Coming to haunt me forever,
I can't wait for the cliff
At the end of the river.

Is this revenge I am seeking?
Or seeking someone to avenge me?
Stuck in my own paradox,
I wanna set myself free!

Maybe I should try to chase and find it
Before they'll try to stop it,
It won't be long before
I become a puppet!

It's been so long!
Since last I've seen my dad,
Lost to this monster!
To the man behind the slaughter.

Since you've been gone,
I've been singing this stupid song
So I could ponder,
The sanity of your daughter.

[INTERMISSION]

I wish I lived in the present,
With the gift of my past mistakes,
But the future keeps luring in
Like a pack of snakes!

Your sweet giant eyes,
Your big warm smile
Is all I remember,
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper

Justification is killing me,
If killing isn't justified!
What happened to my dad?
I'm terrified!

It lingers in my mind
And the thought keeps on getting bigger!
I'm sorry my sweet daddy,
I wish I'd been there.

It's been so long!
Since last I've seen my dad,
Lost to this monster!
To the man behind the slaughter.

Since you've been gone,
I've been singing this stupid song,
So I could ponder,
The sanity of your daughter.
