Long Time Down Lyrics

I know it's been a long time since we were shaken down,
We worked out of the slaughter house on the outskirts of town
You caught it and it was poison to you while it was mean to me,
We rested on the doubtful side, they don't know what it means to see

And now it's time to move on onto solid ground
I'd like you to come and walk with me where we can lay us down

You know, I've waited so long,
Honey, where do we go now?
You know, I've waited so long,
Oh, honey, where do we go now?

You know, it's been a long time that we've been waitin' to go
Sitting patiently exploded, torture as the slow fuse blows
The mystery of your faded smile has helped me through the years
And now and then I only see your eyes as the station nears

You know, I've waited so long,
Honey, where do we go now?
You know, I've waited so long,
Oh, honey, where do we go now?

We caught us a blue train, what other way is there to ride?
I'd never found another just too torn away inside
There shines the moon with a message bidding all hands to heed the call,
Now I know I'm no prospector 'cause I've got no prospects at all

Stolen hearts beneath the floorboards will thunder out of the condemned
I see your address has been taken off at the very end
The weird things I've been run with would empty a tanker of tears,
Along with the memory of your sweet mist to blow away all of my fears

You know, I've waited so long,
Honey, where do we go now?
You know, I've waited so long,
Oh, honey, where do we go now?

It's been a long time coming, a long time down
It's been a long time coming, the snow is on the ground...
