Long Time Coming - The Lower 48

She walks into the room

She had a new pair of shoes

She was wearing them on her face though

And they were blue

Her lover came behind her

Stumbled over my chair

He rolled me a cigarette and

Touched his hair

It’s been a long time comin'

Be a long time still

How can you ask me to wait when

You know I will?

I never knew 'bout love before

Now it’s knocking at my door

No I never knew before

Before I met you now!

So please don’t let me down

Before I met you now!

So please don’t let me down

Everyone’s a preacher

And a bookseller too

Not everyone is a teacher

And that is true

But when the lines are blurry

You better use your tact

She ran off with the king of Spain though

And that’s a fact

It’s been a long time comin'

Be a long time still

How can you ask me to wait when

You’re over the hill?

I never knew 'bout love before

Now it’s knocking at my door

No I never knew before

So please don’t let me down

Before I met you now!

So please don’t let me down

Before I met you now!
