| Last night I stood at your doorstep
|
| Trying to figure out what went wrong
|
| You just slipped something into my palm and you were goneI 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 bornIt’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 homeIn 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 againMy 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 |
