Gladd — Nellie McKay

It's been a long time coming But I know you are the one Here at home at last the days have ceased

It's been a long time coming And I know we've just begun All the pain has passed and there is peace

If the breath was warm and tender Now the breath becomes a yawn And I've been returned to sender And I'm better since I'm gone...

It's been a long time coming But I know you are the one Here with time erased I'm at my best

It's been a long time coming And I know we've just begun Without a pretty face I can just rest

But the march is still ongoing I can hear the drummers' roll And it can't show signs of slowing It is true, dear, it's my soul...

It's been a long time coming But I know you are the one Here at home at last the days have ceased

It's been a long time coming And I know we've just begun All the pain has passed and there is peace.
