Jon Troast The Longest Time Lyrics

Nobody has ever been too ready
For something that meant the world
Nobody has ever prepared too much
Waiting for something they love

So she waits by the window
Keeping her lamp lit every night
While all the shadows dance
She keeps staring at the door
Until one night it opens
Standing before her in the light
The one she was waiting for
Questions, "Were you expecting me?”
She says, "For the longest time”

Why won't she find some sort of remedy
So she won't have to hold on?
Does she know something that we all don't?
Is she sure that he's coming home?

'Cause she waits by the window
Keeping her lamp lit every night While all the shadows dance
She keeps staring at the door
Until one night it opens
Standing before her in the light
The one she was waiting for
Questions, "Were you expecting me?”
She says, "For the longest time”

I've waited night and day
'Cause I didn't know
When you'd show at my door”
But she's not waiting any more

She waits by the window
Keeping her lamp lit every night
While all the shadows dance
She keeps staring at the door
Until one night it opens
Standing before her in the light
The one she was waiting for
Questions, "Were you expecting me?”
She says, "For the longest time”
