Walking The Long Miles Home |
| Oh the last bus has gone |
| Or maybe I’m wrong |
| It just doesn’t exist |
| And the words that flew |
| Between me and you |
| I must be crossed off your list |
| So I’m walking the long miles home |
| I don’t mind losing you |
| In fact I feel better each step of the way |
| In the dark I rehearse all the right things to say |
| I’ll be home, I’ll be sober by break of day |
| Walking the long miles home |
| Not a soul is around |
| As I put more ground |
| Between me and you |
| And the whole town’s asleep |
| Or maybe they’re deep in the old «voulez vous» |
| So I’m walking the long miles home |
| And I don’t mind losing you |
| Got the moon there for company each step of the way |
| And the rhythm in my shoes keep the blues all away |
| When you ride Shanks’s Pony you don’t have to pay |
| Walking the long miles home |
| Oh the party was grand |
| But I hadn’t quite planned on staying so long |
| And while you accused me |
| The hours confused me and my friends had all gone |
| So I’m walking the long miles home |
| And I don’t mind losing you |
| Ah there’s nobody out but the cop on the beat |
| He’s snoring so loud I don’t hear my feet |
| I just laugh to myself and move off down the street |
| Walking the long miles home |
| I’m walking the long miles home |
| Oh walking the long miles home |
