You know it's been a long time since we were shaken down
We worked out of a slaughterhouse on the outskirts of town
You caught it and it was poison to you while it was meat to me
We rested on the doubtful side they don't know what it means to see
And now it's time to move on, onto solid ground
I'd like you to come and walk with me where we can lay us down
You know I've waited so long
Honey where do we go now?
You know I've waited so long
Ah honey where do we go now?
You know it's been a long time we've been waiting to go
Sitting patiently exploding the torture as the slow fuse blows
The mystery of your fading smile has helped me through the years
Now and then I only see your eyes as the station nears
You know I've waited so long
Honey where do we go now?
You know I've waited so long
Ah honey where do we go now?
We caught us a blue train what other way is there to ride?
I’ve never found another just too torn away inside
There shines the moon with a message bidding all hands to heed the call
Now I know I'm no prospector 'cos I've got no prospects at all
Stolen hearts beneath the floorboards the thunder of the condemned
I see your address has been taken off at the very end
The weird things is I've been running on an empty tankard of tears
With only the memory of your sweet mist to blow away all my fears
You know I've waited so long
Honey where do we go now?
You know I've waited so long
Ah honey where do we go now?
It's been a long time coming, a long time down
It's been a long time coming, the snow is on the ground.
