Long time comin'

[Verse 1] Out where the creek turn shallow and sandy And the moon comes skimming away the stars When the mesquite comes rushing over the hilltops Straight into my arms[x2] I'm riding hard carrying a cache of roses A fresh map that I made Now I'm going to get birth naked and bury my old soul And dance on it's grave[x2] [Chorus] It's been a long time coming, my dear It's been a long time coming, but now it's here And now it's here [Verse 2] 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[x2] Well now down below and pulling 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 [Chorus] Whoaaa [Verse 3] Out underneath 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[x2] Well there's just a spark of a campfire left burning Two kids in a sleeping bag beside Reach underneath your shirt, put my hands across your belly and feel Another one kicking inside And I am not going to fuck it up this time [Chorus][x2] [Outro] Whoaaa
