Long Time Down - Richard Hawley

I know it's been a long time since we were shaken down

We worked out of the slaughter house on the outskirts of town

You caught it and it was poison to you while it was mean to me

We rested on the doubtful side they don't know what it means to see

And now it's time to move on onto solid ground

I'd like you to come and walk with me where we can lay us down

You know I've waited so long

Honey where do we go now

You know I've waited so long

Oh honey where do we go now

You know it's been a long time that we've been waitin' to go

Sitting patiently exploded torture as the slow fuse blows

The mystery of your faded smile has helped me through the years

And now and then I only see your eyes as the station nears

You know I've waited so long

Honey where do we go now

You know I've waited so long

Oh honey where do we go now

We caught us a blue train what other way is there to ride

I'd never found another just too torn away inside

There shines the moon with a message bidding all hands to heed the call

Now I know I'm no prospector 'cause I've got no prospects at all

Stolen hearts beneath the floorboards will thunder out of the condemned

I see your address has been taken off at the very end

The weird things I've been run with would empty a tanker of tears

Along with the memory of your sweet mist to blow away all of my fears

You know I've waited so long

Honey where do we go now

You know I've waited so long

Oh honey where do we go now

It's been a long time coming a long time down

It's been a long time coming the snow is on the ground
