Long Time Coming

 Marcus Hummon
 Marti Seidel Maguire

 Tell me you need me
 And I will understand
 Because I’ve seen the desert drinking
 From the rain’s open hand
 Tell me you want me
 And I will lay me down
 We can melt like snow in the summer
 And flow underground
 Just don’t tell me that you love me
 Because I’ll believe it like an answer to my prayers
 And I’ve been waiting for these words
 [spacer]On the thinnest of air
 It’s been a long time coming
 It’s been a long time coming
 I tell you I’m frightened
 A crash of lightning in the air
 Now you’re changing like the weather
 And I’m caught unprepared
 You see I’ve been angry
 I’ve been all dammed up inside
 And when the walls come down
 I’m gonna drown with the tide
 Nothing can save me this time
 Then you tell me that you love me
 And I believe it like an answer to my prayers
 Because I’ve been waiting for these words
 On the thinnest of air
 I’ve been dreaming of this moment so long
 I almost don’t care
