Bruce Springsteen Long Time Coming (denver Version) Lyrics

Long Time Coming (denver Version) Lyrics

where the creek runs shallow and sandy

the moon swoops over the stars

------- straight into my arms

I'm going to get birth naked and bury my old soul

and dance on it's grave

dance on his grave



     It's a long time coming

     a long time coming my dear

     But now it's here



my daddy was a stranger

lived in a hotel downtown

when I was a kid

he was just somebody I'd see around

somebody I'd see around



     It's a long time coming

     a long time coming my dear

     But now it's here



down below and pulling on my shirt

I got some kids of my own

but if I had one wish kids

that your mistakes would be your own

your sins would be your own



     It's a long time coming

     a long time coming my dear

     But now it's here



I am laying under the arms of Cassiopeia

the sword of Orion sweeps

it's me and you Rosie

crackling like crossed wires

I listen to you breathing in your sleep



the sparks of the fire are left burning

lie 2 kids in sleeping bags

I reach under your shirt and feel your belly

there's another one kicking inside

I promise I ain't going to fuck it up this time
