Lyrics
[Intro]
(Oh)
Mm-hmm
Dear Love Dear Light Dear Spirit
I been praying on my knees
Send me someone who will hold me
Hold me like the old ones held
Take the house I'll take the home
See the beauty you placed in me
Let him come my way
I can't do it by myself
(No I can't)
Wouldn't want to anyways
(Long haul)
For the long haul
Believe
[Verse 1]
I been up late talking to the ceiling
Asking for a man with a gentle kind of power
One who honors me the way I honor
Every scar and every soft hour
He could sweep the porch and I could make the bed
We could split the weight and call it holy
I don't need a king I need a partner
Somebody who will love me slowly
[Chorus]
Come my way come my way
(My way)
I believe it I believe it
(Believe it)
Put us in each other's life
Life
For the long haul baby
(Long haul)
[Verse 2]
Told my mama I been waiting patient
For a love that looks me in the eye
He could be soft he could be rugged
Long as he ain't scared to cry
We could cook and laugh and argue
Make it up before the sun
I want forever I want mornings
I want somebody I can run to
[Bridge]
Take me slow take me deeper
(Breathe)
Tell me things you never told
(Tell me)
Kiss my neck and call me precious
Hold me like you won't let go
Let your hands do all the talking
(Slow)
I been waiting all my life
For a man to see the garden
And decide to stay the night
[Verse 3]
Old ones believed in staying
Through the winter through the rain
I believe in something bigger
Something bigger than the pain
When he walks in I will know him
By the way my spirit stills
By the way he says my name
Like a prayer across the hills
[Chorus]
Come my way come my way
(My way)
I believe it I believe it
(Believe it)
Put us in each other's life
Life
For the long haul baby
(Long haul)
[Verse 4]
Grant me this my deepest wanting
Grant me this I know you will
Take the house I'll take the home
Build a life on something real
If he loves the things you planted
Every flower every flaw
Then I'll know you heard me calling
And I'll thank you through it all
[Outro]
Mm
Come my way
(My way)
For the long haul
(Long haul)
Mm-hmm
Oh
(Mm)
