lyrics

When you see me will you listen
I’ve got stories left to tell
that I’ve been saving just for you
and I’ve been living by the minute
losing count after three hours from the last time that I saw you
in the pouring rain.
When you talk
you know I listen
to the pretty words you say over cold coffee
Where you’ve been and where you’re going
is a mystery to me that you’re solving
and I’ll just wait and see.
On the long road back home
And the cold came much too quickly
kept my locked inside my room
with just a paper and a pen.
So I wrote this song to warn you
I hope that it comes close to making up
for the absence of my hands being wrapped in yours.
On the long road back home.
You know that day in South Carolina
you made a promise to me that I hope you’ll keep
will you take me where you’re going
will you give up on me if I can’t keep up to your speed?
Or will you wait for me?
We know these growing years upon us
weigh so heavily on me
you just would not believe.
Eight more hours on this freeway
till were back in our home state
to all our friends and families
will they remember me?
On the long road back home.
I believe that these times can save us
and we are never alone
pull the ones you love back on their feet
when they fall to the ground.
