Long Time Comin’ Songtext
von John Hiatt

Hm, listen

Friend of mine said, "A long time comin′
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 comin'
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 blowin'
Now, I can′t turn back
Friend of mine said, "A long time comin′
Coming down the track"

And if I told the truth
All these memories of you
Well that's why I play the game
Friend of mine said, "A long time comin′
Like it never came"

I've sang these songs a thousand times
Ever since I was young
It′s a long time comin' and a drummer keeps drummin′
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 comin'"
I'm just a long time gone
Friend of mine said, "A long time comin′"
I′m a long time gone
