Long time now to see the river

Travel far to see the river

I belong to people where the river flows

That's where my soul will long to be

Long time now, long time now

Long time now, to see the ocean

My heart will stay to the ocean

Long winter days by a stormy sea

That's where my heart will long to be

Long time now, long time now

Aching now for the mountains

My Father's soul in the highlands

My heart belongs with you wherever you be

That's where my soul will long to be

Long time now, Long time now...........
