Lyrics
Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy
And the moon comes skimming away the stars
The wind in the mesquite comes rushing over the hilltops
Straight into my arms, straight into my arms
I'm riding hard carrying a catch of roses
A fresh map that I made
Tonight I'm going to get birth naked and bury my old soul
And dance on its grave, and dance on its grave
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
Yeah, now it's here
Well, my daddy he was just a stranger
Lived in a hotel downtown
And when I was a kid, he was just somebody
Somebody I'd see around, somebody I'd see around
Well, now down below and pulling on my shirt
Yeah, I got some kids of my own
If I had one wish in this god forsaken world, kids
Let your mistakes would be your own
Yeah, your sins would be your own
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
And now it's here
Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia
Where the sword of Orion sweeps
It's me and you, Rosie, crackling like crossed wires
And you breathing in your sleep
Hear you breathing in your sleep
Well, there's just a spark of a campfire left burning
Two kids in a sleeping bag beside
Reach 'neath your shirt, lay my hands across your belly
Feel another one kicking inside
I ain't gonna fuck it up this time
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
