Long Long Time lyrics

Well I left my home searching up for green grass Headed for Pine Ridge and points beyond But on the road I met an impasse Every direction looked just like home There is a road there is a mountain With many stops along the way How many days I am not counting It's been a long long time you've been away Well a flower grows in a deep dark canyon Where the river wanders to leave the trail And the night bird searches for her companion Who sings of sunlight behind the veil Everyone knows what makes the dove sing And now I know you've gone to stay How many nights I am not countin' It's been a long long time you've been away [ guitar ] Now I walk alone down streets of silver In empty hollows wet with the dew In the sudden stillness of a summer morning In all my dreams I walk with you There is a rose there is a fountain And I have found that lost highway How many years I have stopped countin' It's been a long long time I've been away It's been a long long time I've been away
