Bruce Springsteen - 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
