got all of dublin in a whirl
goes to holy mary and joseph's
convent for the girls
hey darling
you look alright
gonna take you down to dino's
bar tonight
it’s a long time coming
a long time coming

lived down this street
just a year or two ago
remember parties and people
I used to know
they turned it into offices
doubled up the rent
said goodbye to the artists
now their money’s all spent
it’s a long time coming
such a long time coming

I wonder what you’re doing
I wonder where you are
have you still got that beautiful room
and that out of reach kind of car
I still see you driving down the street
the wind in your hair
and the world at your feet
it’s a long time coming
such a long time coming

it’s a long time coming
such a long time coming
