Long Time Gone

(album: A Place At The Table - 2013)

Look out, Ma
Look out, Pa
Look at that horizon
Somethin's out there kicking up dust
Oh, it's coming fast

Look out, Sister
Look out, Brother
River's gonna be rising
Something we've been waiting for
Oh, it's here at last

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

Let's all sing
Let's all dance
Stomp our feet in that red clay
Come on out of those old brown fields
Watch 'em turn into gold

Watch 'em turn into gold

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

The wait is over
The winds have changed
And not a moment too soon
We've all done prayed for a single drop of rain
And now a storm's coming through

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time gone
(Ooh) It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time gone
