Lyrics

It'll Be A Long Time
by Sue Terry
copyright 1996 Sweet Sue Music--BMI

(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)
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.

(bridge)
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.
