It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here at home at last the days have ceased


It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun

All the pain has passed and there is peace

If the breath was warm and tender

Now the breath becomes a yawn
And I've been returned to sender
And I'm better since I'm gone...


It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one

Here with time erased I'm at my best

It's been a long time coming

And I know we've just begun
Without a pretty face I can just rest


But the march is still ongoing
I can hear the drummers' roll
And it can't show signs of slowing

It is true, dear, it's my soul...

It's been a long time coming

But I know you are the one
Here at home at last the days have ceased


It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
All the pain has passed and there is peace.
