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"
