BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Long Walk Home lyrics

rate me

Last night I stood at your doorstep Trying to figure out what went wrong You slipped something into my palm and you were gone It was 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 Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home I walked past Sal's grocery Joe's barber shop on South Street I looked into the faces They were all rank strangers to me Veteran's Hall up upon the hill Stood dark and alone Frankie's 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 My Pa said "Son, we're lucky, This town is a beautiful place to be born. It just wraps its arms around you, Nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone" "You see that flag down at the courthouse? It means certain things are set in stone. Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't" Well 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 Here everybody has a neighbor Everybody has a friend Everybody has a reason to begin again [Harmonica bridge] Now the water's rising 'round the corner There's a fire burning out of control There's a hurricane on Main Street And I've got murder in my soul Yeah well when the party's over And the cheering is all gone Will you know me, will I know you Will I know you 'Cause 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 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 Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me It's gonna be a long walk home Hey now darling, it's gonna be a long walk home Yeah it's gonna be a long walk home
