It'll Be A Long Time
verse 1
I'll meet you, where the river runs deep,
When the shadow of yesterday falls
I'll meet you, with a thorn in my paw,
I'll be wearing a blue mackinaw.

verse 2
I'll be there, where the canyon is steep
When the blue mountain firs have grown tall
I'll be there, after many a week,
When I see you we won't have to speak.

chorus I It'll be a long time
Won’t be any reason or rhyme
It’ll be a long time
It’ll be a long climb
Looking for love, a love sublime
It’ll be a long time

chorus II I'll be a queen in a distant land
You'll be a king with a castle of sand.
I'll be the one with the architect's plans
You'll be the one that no one understands.

verse 3
I'm sleeping, with a dream in my ear
of songs an angel would sing
I'm sleeping, while I wait to be kissed
by a spirit that rides on the mist.

verse 4
I'm weeping, 'cause I wish you were here
talkin' 'bout any old thing
I'm weeping, for heaven and earth
I'm weeping for death and for birth.
