Yahwe Mutabo

Too Long

Yahwe Mutabo


a thousand ways, you've conquered me
And with a thousand dreams, again I've wept for thee
And from a lonely place I've called to you
Making no mistake
And of all the times I think of you
Oh, I feel this way

And for a thousand years too long
This endless schism lives
And locked away inside my heart
This gentle beast is still stirring
But with a single touch of your fire
I'm forever there

I'm still falling for you
But I was falling
Oh, so long ago

This time I know my place
And I'll get down on my knees to say...

When I hear your voice, the time...
I can't believe it's passing me by
I remember your kiss on a summer's day
My lips still tingle with that thought
And I know you're tired of all the things that he doesn't do
But, ah how lucky he must be

I'm still falling for you
Just like I was
Oh, so long ago

This time I know my place
Beneath all those who've stood before you
I'll get down on my knees to say

I've waited too long to say, "Good bye" again
I've drug my heart around in the sands of time
I've waited too long
