i thought it was my duty as an honest man raving about my country doing what i can luxury i had inside i suppose it was just a stand she walked me down to the end of the road she laughed till she cried as she turned to go she said i'll think of you and you're feeling every night the vultures sing why'd you want to wait so long? if you're gone this long well you've got to know he's long gone you've been building up your fences and memorised dances just so you're still strong why'd you want to wait so long? it seems i've been offered for a life or two two things now tell me what i got to do i've got my old mans eyes and a dusty old picture of you i don't know how long i've been shouldering my headstone one more hill and i'll be coming on home i can feel you down in the marrow of my bones well i've been jumping over fences and running through fresh cut fields of lavender one more hill and i'll be coming on home one more hill and i'll be coming on home baby please hurry home i hope i know why you want to wait so long
