Long Walk Home

Last night I stood at your doorstep
Trying to figure out what went wrong
You just slipped something into my palm and you were gone

I could smell the same deep green of summer
´Bove me the same night sky was glowin´
In the distance I could see the town where I was born

It´s gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
A long walk home

In town I pass Sal´s grocery
Barber shop on South Street
I looked in their faces*
They´re all rank strangers to me*
Well Veteran´s Hall high upon the hill
Stood silent and alone
The diner was shuttered and boarded
With a sign that just said "gone"

It´s gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
It´s gonna be a long walk home

Here everybody has a neighbor
Everybody has a friend
Everybody has a reason to begin again

My father said "Son, we´re lucky in this town,
It´s a beautiful place to be born.
It just wraps its arms around you,
Nobody crowds you and nobody goes it alone"

"Your flag flyin´ over the courthouse
Means certain things are set in stone.
Who we are, what we´ll do and what we won´t"

It´s gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
It´s gonna be a long walk home
It´s gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
It´s gonna be a long walk home
It´s gonna be a long walk home
