Richard Hawley - Long Time Down lyrics

You know it's been a long time since we were shaken down We worked out of a slaughterhouse on the outskirts of town You caught it and it was poison to you while it was meat 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 Ah honey where do we go now? You know it's been a long time we've been waiting to go Sitting patiently exploding the torture as the slow fuse blows The mystery of your fading smile has helped me through the years 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 Ah honey where do we go now? We caught us a blue train what other way is there to ride? I’ve 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 'cos I've got no prospects at all Stolen hearts beneath the floorboards the thunder of the condemned I see your address has been taken off at the very end The weird things is I've been running on an empty tankard of tears With only the memory of your sweet mist to blow away all my fears You know I've waited so long Honey where do we go now? You know I've waited so long Ah 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.
