Out where the creek turn shallow and sandy    And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars    The wind in 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       (Whoa)
