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' 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 |
