[Verse 1]
Long about now, my woman's waking
Shaking the sleep from out of her eyes
Smiling a smile so warm
That smile is making the morning sun
Ashamed to rise

[Verse 2]
Long about now, my woman's bending
Tending the fire and setting the bread
Starting a song so sweet
That at its ending, the fire is burning extra red

[Verse 3]
Long about now, my woman's waiting
Shading the sun from off of her brow
Searching the winding road with eyes that try to find me

[Outro]
And longing after me, long about now
Long about now, long about now
