Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
Dear God of love and light
I ain't asking twice
I been patient through the coldest nights
Now I'm standing in your sight
(Standing in your sight)
Send me someone true
Someone who stays when the rent come due
Who honors me the way I honor you
(Tell me what you do)
[Verse 1]
Wrote your name on the inside of my wrist
Every prayer got a little more honest
I been talking to the sky like a friend
Asking for a man who won't pretend
He can hold the house down
While I make this place a home
He can see the gold in me
And never let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
So come my way
I can't do this alone
So come my way
I don't want to on my own
[Chorus]
Long haul love
Like the old ones prayed about
Long haul love
That's the thing I can't live without
Long haul love
Put us in each other's way
Long haul love
I believe it every day
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Long haul love
Oh-oh
Long haul love
[Verse 2]
I got a heart that runs deep and runs slow
Warm as the summer and stubborn as the cold
Give me a man who can meet me in the middle
And dance with me gentle when the world goes brittle
Never rush me never waste me
Trace me like a psalm
Put your hands where my pulse is
And keep my spirit calm
[Pre-Chorus]
So come my way
I been waiting so long
So come my way
Won't you prove me wrong
[Chorus]
Long haul love
Like the old ones prayed about
Long haul love
That's the thing I can't live without
Long haul love
Put us in each other's way
Long haul love
I believe it every day
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Long haul love
Oh-oh
Long haul love
[Verse 3]
You move like you know every corner of me
Slow and sure like a man who's free
I ain't scared to say what I feel
Baby what we got is something real
Take my time take my name
Take my whole entire frame
I ain't running from the weight
I been praying for this fate
[Verse 4]
Now I lay my worries at the door
You the kind of man I been waiting for
Ride or die but soft with me
That's the way it's supposed to be
Build it up don't tear it down
Roots go deep in this sacred ground
Grow with me through the seasons
That's the only kind of reason
[Bridge]
Skin to skin
Slow and low
Tell me things nobody knows
Skin to skin
Take your time
Everything you touch is mine
[Chorus]
Long haul love
Like the old ones prayed about
Long haul love
That's the thing I can't live without
Long haul love
Put us in each other's way
Long haul love
I believe it every day
[Outro]
I believe
I believe
(long haul)
I believe
(long haul)
Mm-hmm
I believe
