The Long Time Now Lyrics - T Bone Burnett

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
