"Longing" lyrics

Searching for the good of my heart
That got misplaced back when I fell apart
I made out by the skin of my teeth
Alone and full of longing

For a place all of my own
Where the water runs clear
And the grass grows long
For a place where I belong

La da da, la da da, da da
La da da, da da da

Six strings hanging by my side
I walked to find a hill to climb
I felt the earth underneath my feet
And waited for a heart beat

Take me to the place I can call my own
Where the water runs clear
And the grass grows long
And every year underneath my belt
I'll be counting these stars 'til my luck runs out

They say good things will come to those who wait
But what if I've spent all my life in vain?

Searching for the good of my heart
The place of my belonging
La da da, la da da, da da
La da da, da da da
La da da, la da da, da da
La da da, da da da
La da da, la da da, da da
La da da, da da da
