I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for the long time now
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for the long time now
I can hear the footsteps
(interlude)
Following behind me trying to find me
But when I turn around
I can t see where the path goes into the shadows
Into the shadows
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for the long time now
I can hear you breathing
(interlude)
Whispering in my ear there is nothing to fear
But when I turn around
As I see the trees bow
I only hear the wind blow
By mistake I felt alone
In my heart I ve always known
You d be there to bring me home
(solo)
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for a long long time
I ve been waiting for the long time now
I ve been waiting for the long time now
I ve been waiting for the long time now
