in a long time lyrics

enjoy yourself
like a man
girl
enjoy yourself
like a boy
just like a woman can
yeah
in the sun
-sun is the word-
like the bow of a boat
in the water where you float
all the wet
all the foam where you lay
like a slow damp day in the heat
be a cat in the shade of a tree
or a leaf in the wind
you are free
you are safe
as you stride
and you stroll
you are in control
and still
here with me
when the dark falls
when the dark falls

it has been a long long time
not a sound not a word not a song
we hadn`t heard
in a long time
not then
but before
we have been longing for
in a long time
uhm
uhm
uhm

all these things
and all these other things
to be different in the world
of a girl
like a man
and a boy
just like a woman can
with a girl like me
on a sunday
the scent of a hot day - gold
skin
tip of the tongue
the beginning and the end
in the blink of an eye
bird in the sky
yeah
-bird is the word
bird bird is the word-
you are free
you are safe
as you stride
and you stroll
you are in control
and still
here with me
when the dark falls
when the dark falls
