The Long Time Now - Lyrics - T Bone Burnett

Joseph Henry "T Bone" Burnett is an American musician, songwriter, and soundtrack and record producer. He was a touring guitarist in Bob Dylan's band on the Rolling Thunder Revue. After the tour ended, Burnett and two other members of the backing band formed The Alpha Band, followed by his first solo album in 1980.

I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for the long time now I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for the long time now I can hear the footsteps Following behind me, trying to find me But when I turn around I can't see where the path goes Into the shadows Into the shadows I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for the long time now I can hear you breathing Whispering in my ear there is nothing to fear But when I turn around As I see the trees bow I only hear the wind blow By mistake I felt alone In my heart I've always known You'd be there to bring me home I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for a long, long time I've been waitin' for the long time now I've been waitin' for the long time now I've been waitin' for the long time now
