Bruce Springsteen - 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" |
|
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 again |
|
My 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 |
