Long Time Comin' - Live at the Walter Kerr Theatre, New York, NY - July 2018
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
Straight into my arms
I'm riding hard carrying a cache of roses
And a fresh map that I made
Now I'm going to get birth naked and bury my old soul
And dance on its grave
I'm gonna dance on its grave
It's been a long time coming, my dear
It's been a long time coming, but now it's here
Now it's here
Well, my daddy he was just a stranger
Lived in a hotel downtown
When I was a kid, he was just somebody
Somebody I'd see around
Somebody I'd see around
Now down below and pulling on my shirt
I got some kids of my own
If I had one wish in this god-forsaken world, kids
It'd be, your mistakes'll be your own
Yeah, your sins will be your own
It's been a long time coming my dear
It's been a long time coming but now it's here
Now it's here
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
You breathing in your sleep
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 and feel
Another one kicking inside
And I ain't gonna fuck it up this time
Oh, it's been a long time coming my dear
Oh, it's been a long time coming but now it's here
Now it's here
And the moon comes skimming away the stars
When the mesquite comes rushing over the hilltops
Straight into my arms
Straight into my arms
I'm riding hard carrying a cache of roses
And a fresh map that I made
Now I'm going to get birth naked and bury my old soul
And dance on its grave
I'm gonna dance on its grave
It's been a long time coming, my dear
It's been a long time coming, but now it's here
Now it's here
Well, my daddy he was just a stranger
Lived in a hotel downtown
When I was a kid, he was just somebody
Somebody I'd see around
Somebody I'd see around
Now down below and pulling on my shirt
I got some kids of my own
If I had one wish in this god-forsaken world, kids
It'd be, your mistakes'll be your own
Yeah, your sins will be your own
It's been a long time coming my dear
It's been a long time coming but now it's here
Now it's here
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
You breathing in your sleep
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 and feel
Another one kicking inside
And I ain't gonna fuck it up this time
Oh, it's been a long time coming my dear
Oh, it's been a long time coming but now it's here
Now it's here
