Out where the creek turn shallow and sandy
|
And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars
|
When the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops
|
Straight into my arms
|
Straight into my arms
|
|
I'm ridin' hard carryin' a cache of roses
|
A fresh map that I made
|
Now I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
|
And dance on it's grave
|
And dance on it's grave
|
|
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
|
|
Well my daddy he was just a stranger
|
Lived in a hotel downtown
|
Well when I was a kid he was just somebody
|
Somebody I'd see around
|
Somebody I'd see around
|
|
Well now down below and pullin' on my shirt
|
Yeah I got some kids of my own
|
Well if I had one wish for you in this god forsaken world, kid
|
It'd be that your mistakes will be your own
|
That your sins will 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
|
|
(Whoaaa)
|
|
Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia*
|
Where the sword of Orion sweeps
|
It's me and you, Rosie, cracklin' like crossed wires
|
And you breathin' in your sleep
|
And you breathin' in your sleep
|
|
Well there's just a spark of a campfire left burnin'
|
Two kids in a sleeping bag beside
|
Reach 'neath your shirt, put my hands across your belly and feel
|
Another one kickin' inside
|
And 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
|
|
(Whoaaa)
