Long time now to see the river
travel far to see the river
i belong to people where the river flows
that's where my soul will long to be
Long time now, long time now
Long time now, to see the ocean
my heart will stay to the ocean
long winter days by a stormy sea
that's where my heart will long to be
Long time now, long time now
Aching now for the mountains
my father's soul in the highlands
my heart belongs with you wherever you be
that's where my soul will long to be
Long time now, long time now...........
