Takes So Long To See You

[Verse 1]

Woke up before the sun

Quiet house and cold tea on the stove

Stared at the garden wall

Wondering where the years all went

I held your picture to the light

Turned it over in my hands

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know you're somewhere near

I know you're somewhere close

[Chorus]

Takes so long to see you

Takes so long to see you

Walking through the morning mist

I keep calling out your name

[Verse 2]

Down by the old fig tree

Where we buried all our simple dreams

The leaves keep turning gold

Same as every autumn road we took

I talk to you in whispers

Hoping that the wind will carry through

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know you're somewhere near

I know you're somewhere close

[Chorus]

Takes so long to see you

Takes so long to see you

Walking through the morning mist

I keep calling out your name

[Bridge]

Patience is a heavy stone

I've been rolling it for years and years

Softly now the truth comes home

You were never far away at all

[Chorus]

Takes so long to see you

Takes so long to see you

Walking through the morning mist

I keep calling out your name

[Chorus]

Takes so long to see you

Takes so long to see you

Takes so long my love

Takes so long
