|
She took a long time to go |
|
Sittin' on the porch, looking way down the road, and waiting |
|
For the right time to come |
|
For leaving home |
|
For leaving home |
|
Light in her eyes when the doorbell rings |
|
She runs to see what the mailman brings |
|
Another letter from so far away |
|
She reads it ten times a day |
|
She reads it ten times a day |
|
Suitcase lying in the hall |
|
She's waiting for the telephone call |
|
Let her go, let her fly away |
|
There's nothing left to see |
|
There's nothing left to see |
|
Lazy moon hangin' in the air |
|
Catches the light in her long brown hair |
|
Lying awake she hears a night train cry |
|
This is so long honey, goodbye |
|
This is so long honey, goodbye |
|
So long, I can't wait |
|
So long, got to get away |
|
So long, I waited too long |
|
So long, I got to be moving on |
|
I got to be moving on |
|
She took a long time to go |
|
Sittin' on the porch, looking way down the road, and waiting |
|
For the right time to come |
|
For leaving home |
|
For leaving home |
