it's been a long long day

oooh

it's been a long long one day

longer than a country mile

stronger than a hurricane

oooh

it's been a long long

day. this red barn in the field. dusty winds blow round it. it stands in its place

firm and tall. so safe inside am i

that i can see

one hundred prairie miles

waving on endlessly. and papa snores again

while mama lies awake

silently wondering

why that grey

cat that she loved

up and run away

ten years ago one

dusty day just like today. long one day there i lay

under the big windy sky i prayed;

dear lord make the flickering hands of fate

finally flip the page

to the yellow sun

of my coming age. oooh

it's been a long

long long day. longer than a country mile

stronger than a hurricane. oooh

its been

a long long day.
