Long about Now lyrics

'Long about now, my woman's waking

Shaking the sleep from out of her eyes

Smiling a smile so warm

That smaile is making the morning sun

Ashamed to rise

'Long about now, my woman's bending

Tending the fire and setting the bread

Starting a song so sweet

That at its ending the fire

Is burning extra red

'Long about now, my woman's waiting

Shading the sun from off of her brow

Searching the winding road with eyes that

Try to find me

And longing after me, 'long about now

'Long about now, 'long about now
