Long Time - Yonder Mountain String Band

Every time I walk into my room

I see you sitting there

And I hope that today will be the day, nothing to fear

And I’ve told myself so many times to wait for it to come

But if I wait too long, I may forget you

Often times I’ll analyze and criticize in my mind

Telling friends that this nonsense can’t be what they want to hear

But at least they have something to say

My own mind will ring in dull

That’s why if I wait too long, I may forget you

It’s been such a long time

I know it’s sad but true

Such a long time

Since I’ve had something to say

Such a long time

I don’t even know what I’m even looking for

How can I find what I cannot see?

If I wait too long, I may forget you

(interlude)

Lately it seems that I’ve been thinking 'bout you every day

But I can’t seem to get the courage to open up to you

And I bet that if I can, things would be better I am sure

That’s why if I wait too long, I may forget you

It’s been such a long time

I know it’s sad but true

Such a long time

Since I’ve had something to say

Such a long time

Now that I’ve found what’s been stuck in my mind

I promise I will be back real soon

If I wait too long, I may forget you

(short interlude)

It’s been such a long time

I know it’s sad but true

Such a long time

Since I’ve had something to say

Such a long time

Now that I’ve found what’s been stuck in my mind

I promise I will be back real soon

If I wait too long I may forget you…
