Bruce Springsteen - Long Time Comin' lyrics

Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy
And the moon comes skimming away the stars
Wind in the mesquite comes
Rushing over the hilltops
Straight into my arms, straight into my arms

I'm riding hard carrying a catch 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 and
Dance on it's grave

It's been a long time coming, my dear
It's been a long time coming
But now it's here yea, 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

Well now down below and pulling on my shirt
Yeah I got some kids of my own
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 coming, my dear
It's been a long time coming
But now it's here and now it's here
Whoa

Out 'neath 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
And you breathing you in your sleep

Well there's just a spark of
A campfire left burning
Two kids in a sleeping bag beside
Reach 'neath your shirt
Put my hands across your belly and feel
Another one kicking inside
And I ain't gonna fuck it up this time

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

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
