| Put the TV on the lawn
|
| With the bicycles and boots
|
| Take your wedding dress to pawn
|
| Take my pistol and my suit
|
| Sell the house
|
| Sell the car
|
| Take the kids to Jacksonville
|
| Give them a kiss
|
| For the father they’ll miss
|
| Tell them that I love them still
|
| I remember long ago
|
| In that brown Catskill school snow
|
| Oh the life we dreamt of way back then
|
| Hey there Dorothy stop your crying
|
| I’ll put your favorite record on
|
| Hey there Dorothy wheres your smile?
|
| Just one more kiss before I’m gone
|
| Sell the house
|
| Sell the car
|
| Take the kids to Jacksonville
|
| Give them a kiss
|
| For the father they’ll miss
|
| Tell them that I love them still
|
| And always will
|
| And always will
|
| To chain me to the earth
|
| It would take a length of chain
|
| Twenty-five thousand miles long
|
| To wash me away it would take a length of rain
|
| Twenty-five million mornings long
|
| To chain me to the earth
|
| It would take a length of chain
|
| Twenty-five thousand miles long
|
| I have always been and I will see no end
|
| Twenty-five million mornings long
|
| And that’s a long length of chain
|
| And that’s a long time to wait
|
| To move me with hate it would take an army greater than
|
| 25 million soldiers strong
|
| To move me with love it would take the birds above
|
| Oh the singing of a song
|
| And that’s a long length of chain
|
| To chain me to the earth
|
| It would take a length of chain
|
| Twenty-five thousand miles long
|
| I will always be like the ever-changing sea
|
| 25 million years to come
|
| And that’s a long length of chain
|
| And that’s a long length of chain |
