Where the creek runs shallow and sandy

The moon swoops over the stars

------- straight into my arms

I'm going to get birth naked and bury my old soul

And dance on it's grave

Dance on his grave



It's a long time coming

A long time coming my dear

But now it's here



My daddy was a stranger

Lived in a hotel downtown

When i was a kid

He was just somebody i'd see around

Somebody i'd see around



It's a long time coming

A long time coming my dear

But now it's here



Down below and pulling on my shirt

I got some kids of my own

But if i had one wish kids

That your mistakes would be your own

Your sins would be your own



It's a long time coming

A long time coming my dear

But now it's here



I am laying under the arms of cassiopeia

The sword of orion sweeps

It's me and you rosie

Crackling like crossed wires

I listen to you breathing in your sleep



The sparks of the fire are left burning

Lie 2 kids in sleeping bags

I reach under your shirt and feel your belly

There's another one kicking inside

I promise i ain't going to fuck it up this time
