Waylon Jennings - How Long Have You Been There Lyrics
(Dee Moeller)I've been walking in the shadows for so longThat I forgot the sun could shineI've turned away from everything and everyoneThat wanted to be mine.Somehow I always shut my eyes and heartTo anything that I might shareNow I'm standing still and I wonderHow long have you been there?Every path I've taken I've turned aroundAnd quickly closed the doorIt seems that all I knew if I ever stopTo feel I want more.I kept a steady run so my eyesCould never focus anywhereNow I'm standing still and I wonderHow long have you been there?How long have you been standing thereProtecting me from love that shouldn't beKnowing all along that I would realizeThat you were meant for me.Now, I've got to mend every broken fenceAnd bridge that I have burnedAnd clear away the cobwebsIn my heart so I can start to learn.For now I realize that you've been waitingJust to teach me how to careNow, I'm standing still and I wonderHow long have you been there?Now I'm standing still and I wonderHow long have you been there?...
