Long Time Comin' (live) Lyrics - Live In Dublin - Bruce Springsteen & The Sessions Band

Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy 

And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars 

The wind in the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops 

Straight into my arms 

Straight into my arms 

I'm riding hard carryin' a catch of roses 

And a fresh map that I made 

Tonight I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul 

And dance on its grave 

And dance on its grave 

It's been a long time comin', my dear 

It's been a long time comin' but now it's here 

Well my daddy he was just a stranger 

Lived in a hotel downtown 

When I was a kid he was just somebody 

Somebody I'd see around 

Somebody I'd see around 

Now down below and pullin' on my shirt 

I got some kids of my own 

Well if I had one wish in this god forsaken world, kids 

It'd be that your mistakes would be your own 

Yea your sins would be your own 

It's been a long time comin', my dear 

It's been a long time comin' but now it's here 

Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia 

Where the sword of Orion sweeps 

It's me and you, Rosie, cracklin' like crossed wires 

And you breathin' in your sleep 

You breathin' in your sleep 

Well there's just a spark of campfire burning 

Two kids in a sleeping bag beside 

I Reach 'neath your shirt, lay my hands across your belly 

And feel another one kickin' inside 

I ain't gonna fuck it up this time 

It's been a long time comin', my dear 

It's been a long time comin' but now it's here 

It's been a long time comin', my dear 

It's been a long time comin' but now it's here
