T-Bone Burnett - The Long Time Now lyrics

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for the long time now

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for the long time now

I can hear the footsteps following behind me

Trying to find me but when I turn around

I can't see where the path goes

Into the shadows, into the shadows

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for the long time now

I can hear you breathing

Whispering in my ear, "There is nothing to fear"

But when I turn around

As I see the trees bow, I only hear the wind blow

By mistake I felt alone, in my heart I've always known

You'd be there to bring me home

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for a long, long time

I been waiting for the long time now

I been waiting for the long time now

I been waiting for the long time now
