Long Lost You
Jean Rohe

Long lost you,
Last night I met that singer we used to idolize
And she's just like normal people; drinks beer and eats fries
And after her show she wants to know, "Where's the party at?"
And the party's in a loud beer hall where we all sit around and chat

I don't think of you.
It's been so long now that time has cooled the pain
But she played that song you used to love and I could see your face again
For all I know you're dead and gone, for all I know you're carving up some other girl
With her back up in the corner, how you isolate the two of you against the world

It was hard loving you.
Easy as it was to go fool around in the ladies room
Two girls in a big high school
But between your moods and the rocks they threw I got a little bit confused
Who's my enemy?

It was easy
to adore you, it was easy to stand in awe
Of your talent and your temper, how you sucked my poor soul raw
Easier to be picked on by the boys who wielded words and weight and ran the show
Impossible to leave you when you broke your skin and pleaded with me not to go

I want you to know
it's a big, bright world here and I intend to fly
The skinny girl you stuck your claws in 'till she wished that she could die
You'd never recognize me in the huddle of musicians 'round an old guitar
And they say it's not an easy life I picked, but it's fun; I wouldn't call it hard

It was hard loving you.
Easy as it was to go fool around in the ladies room
Two girls in a big high school
But between your moods and the rocks they threw I got a little bit confused
Who's my enemy?

Long, lost you,
Last night I met that singer we used to idolize
