Catherine Maclellan Long Time Lyrics

All those books that you gave to me now lay
Scattered amongst these rooms
And marked with pen are the passages then that
you felt spoke the truth
I could use you now to guide me somehow or to
Walk me down that isle
But I will not be the first you will miss giving birth
This will be your seventh grandchild Well it's been a long time
It's been a long time
Got your old 45s on the turn table while
I go flipping through those pages
All those old photographs of days we can't get back still
The people sing your praises
It's been a long time
It's been a long long time
