Catherine MacLellan - Long Time lyrics

All those books that you gave to me now lay Scattered amongst these rooms And marked with pen are the pa**ages then that You felt spoke the truth I could use you now to guide me somehow or to Walk me down that isle But I will not be the first you will miss giving birth This will be your seventh grandchild Well it's been a long time It's been a long time Got your old 45s on the turn table while I go flipping through those pages All those old photographs of days we can't get back still The people sing your praises It's been a long time It's been a long long time
