Long Time Running

[Verse 1]
Does your mother tell you things
Long, long when I'm gone?
Who you talking to?
Is she telling you I'm the one?
It's a grave mistake, and I'm wide awake

[Verse 2]
Drive in's rained out
Weatherman wet fingers the sky
He pokes it out, he pulls it in
He don't know why
It's the same mistake

[Chorus]
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time coming
It's well worth the wait

[Verse 3]
We don't go anywhere
Just on trips
We haven't seen a thing
We still don't know where it is
It's a safe mistake

[Chorus]
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time coming

[Bridge]
Well, well, it's all the same mistake
Dead to rights and wide awake
I'll drop a caribou
I'll tell on you
I'll tell on you
I'll tell on you

[Verse 4]
You've got a boatload of nerve
But I would say you've been told
You work me against my friends and you'll get--
You'll get left out in the cold
It's the same mistake

[Chorus]
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time coming

[Outro]
It's been a long, long, long time running
It's well worth the wait
It's well worth the wait
It's well worth the wait
It's well worth the wait
