Here we are again
Asking who's to blame
and do you refrain
from the shame

And you're asking why
and you'd like to know
is there another way
I won't say, ay, ay, ay

has it been so long
10 years ain't so long
has it been so long

And i'm asking why
and your pleading I
should walk away
stay away

and you think you're right
and you think you might
might want to stay
you can't say, ay, ay, ay

has it been so long
10 years ain't so long
has it been so long

ooooooooooooooooooooo

as your eyes turn back
descend upon the view
has it been in vain
what will remain
for this cannot last
it may be the first
time I'm awake
awake

has it been so long
10 years is too long
has it been so long

10 years, 10 years
is too long
10 years, 10 years,
is too long
