Out where the creek turn shallow and sandy. And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars. When the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops. Straight into my arms. Straight into my arms. I'm ridin' hard carryin' a cache of roses. A fresh map that I made. Now I'm gonna 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 comin' my dear. It's been a long time comin' but now it's here. And now it's here. 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. Somebody I'd see around. Well now down below and pullin' 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. It's been a long time comin' my dear. It's been a long time comin' but now it's here. And now it's here. (Whoaaa). Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia. Where the sword of Orion sweeps. It's me and you Rosie cracklin' like crossed wires. And you breathin' in your sleep. And you breathin' in your sleep. Well there's just a spark of a campfire left burnin'. Two kids in a sleeping bag beside. Reach 'neath your shirt put my hands across your belly and feel. Another one kickin' inside. And I ain't gonna fuck it up this time. It's been a long time comin' my dear. It's been a long time comin' but now it's here. It's been a long time comin' my dear. It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
