Long Time Comin'

(album: Terms Of My Surrender - 2014)

Friend of mine said a long time coming, been a long time gone
Stood right here, whispered in my ear, all the love gone wrong
I've been living my life like a howling wind and I can't put out this flame
Friend of mine said a long time coming, coming back again

All this time the wheels been turning, turning like a screw
Down some roads of silver and gold but I could never find you
Been living my life like a lonesome whistle blowing, now I can't turn back
Friend of mine said a long time coming, coming down the track

And if I told it true, all these memories of you, well that's why I play the game
Friend of mine said a long time coming, like it never came

I've sang these songs a thousand times, ever since I was young
It's a long time coming and the drummer keeps drumming, your work is never done
I still see you there in that silver blue air and I never have moved on
Friend of mine said a long time coming, I'm just a long time gone
Friend of mine said a long time coming, I'm a long time gone
