Long Time to Wait
Echoes of Longing: Boyd Tinsley's Melodic Journey Through Time
Lyrics
Well, I've longed so long for
Expressing a deep and enduring desire for something.
What a long time to wait
Highlighting the extended period of anticipation.
For, at last, my long lost friend
Referring to a friend who has been absent for a significant amount of time.
How I've often wondered
Reflecting on the curiosity about the friend's whereabouts.
Somehow, some way
Expressing hope or speculation about a possible reunion.
Do you think of me at all
Pondering whether the absent friend thinks about the speaker.
Do you know how long I wondered
Reiterating the enduring nature of the speaker's curiosity.
Oh, how long
Emphasizing the extended duration of waiting.
Where you were and how you been
Inquiring about the friend's experiences and well-being during the absence.
Do you know how long I've wondered
Repeating the theme of prolonged wondering about the friend.
When it was that you might come around here
Speculating about the potential time of the friend's return.
It was a long time ago
Referring to a distant past, indicating the length of the wait.
Who knows how long
Expressing uncertainty about the duration of the past period.
That time is over
Indicating that the long wait is now over.
Run around all night and
Recalling carefree times spent together during the past.
No cares but how we've been
Highlighting the absence of concerns during those carefree moments.
But that was yesterday
Acknowledging that the carefree moments belong to the past.
Do you know how long I've wondered
Reiterating the theme of wondering about the friend's whereabouts.
Where you were
Seeking information about the friend's location.
When did I see you at all
Asking about the last time the friend was seen.
Now I can't keep on walking
Expressing a need to rest or take a break from waiting.
I must lay down
Conveying a sense of exhaustion or surrender.
