T-Bone Burnett — The Long Time Now lyrics

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
