Lyrics
Too Long A Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Momma says she doesn't want me hang'n around
Whatever you do now, don't let momma know
I slip out in the darkness, in the frosty moonlight
Fly across the silver morning meadow
Candle in the window
Shadow on the shade
I know my love lies waitin' inside
Close the door now
Have a taste of wine
Lord it's been too long a time
Oh, yes it has
Way down in the passing love
Feels so young and fine
Wrap your love around me
The wind is high
Every minute passing, I want to hold you
Every minute comes too long a time
Too long a time
Too long a time
