Discover the story of the song > The Long Time Now – T-Bone Burnett

The protagonist has been waiting for a long time, and even though he can hear someone following him, when he turns around, he can't see anything. He hears his partner's voice telling him there's nothing to fear, but when he looks around again, he only hears the wind blowing through the trees. He's been waiting for a long time, and still is.
