Lyrics

Summer called this morning - And told me 'bout her ma
Who died without warning - Somewhere in Arkansas
She lives in Albuquerque now - Works in a gallery
Though once I broke her heart
She still thinks a lot of me


It's been a long time - A real long time - hey hey


She was just too young and rich - And I was on the run
Every time I felt the itch - I followed evening's sun
We'd climb on top of Vesper hill - And talk about the world
The view from there was so unreal - She was a pretty girl

It's been a long time - A real long time - hey hey

I saw her last at Johnny Ray's - She was going through town
On her way back to the mountains - She played guitar, I played the clown
She'll always be a mountain girl - She'll always be my friend
She said the song I wrote in the garden - Still circles Vesper on the wind


It's been a long time - A real long time - hey hey

Real long time - Real long time - Real long time - Real long time
