You and I are climbing in a canyon
Lightning struck it once before machines
Holidays are nothing to these long yellow clouds
Lying down like girls in magazines
ย
Hiding out behind the swings and statues
You're tired of running round and jumping rope
Looking through the boards of back to school house
Spitting on our hands we made a note
It's a long, it's a long time coming
It's a long, it's a long hard time
ย
Came upon a kind man in this slow town
He's general as a heartbeat in a crowd
But I am growing lawless in his good arms
Drawing blood and clawing my way out
And I am out here spinning on a clothesline
There's nothing now that moves me but the wind
And I am crying, "come out here and find me
Please come shake me down and bring me in"
It's a long, it's a long time coming
It's a long, it's a long hard time
It's a long, it's a long time coming
It's a long, it's a long hard time
ย
And I believe the news has made me reckless
I cannot keep from walking after dark
I want to see the places that were mentioned
To see a map of all the brightest stars
And we can hang our banner on the hillside
Yeah, we can touch the sun and turn the soil
And we can own the oceans and the salt mines
And look out on it all and still want more
It's a long, it's a long time coming
It's a long, it's a long hard time
It's a long, it's a long time coming
It's a long, it's a long hard time
