waylon jennings - how long have you been there lyrics
(dee moeller)
i’ve been walking in the shadows for so long
that i forgot the sun could shine
i’ve turned away from everything and everyone
that wanted to be mine.
somehow i always shut my eyes and heart
to anything that i might share
now i’m standing still and i wonder
how long have you been there?
every path i’ve taken i’ve turned around
and quickly closed the door
it seems that all i knew if i ever stop
to feel i want more.
i kept a steady run so my eyes
could never focus anywhere
now i’m standing still and i wonder
how long have you been there?
how long have you been standing there
protecting me from love that shouldn’t be
knowing all along that i would realize
that you were meant for me.
now, i’ve got to mend every broken fence
and bridge that i have burned
and clear away the cobwebs
in my heart so i can start to learn.
for now i realize that you’ve been waiting
just to teach me how to care
now, i’m standing still and i wonder
how long have you been there?
now i’m standing still and i wonder
how long have you been there?…
