Bill Morrissey â Itâs Time To Go Home
Capo 4
Well she [] looked so small
She [] looked so frail
It was [] like the world forgot her
As [] she stood outside the jail
They [] sit and stare
They[] rarely speak
She [] comes to see him
The [] same time every week
Never [] wants to leave
But she [] knows she must
That the [] yellow cab comes right on time
And [] scoops her up like a speck of dust
When [] its time to go [] home
Its [] time to go [] home
[] Where the night stayed [] too long
[] In a world thatâs [] just gone []wrong
Itâs[] time [] to go [] home
How [] did one summer
Become [] 19 years
The Alaskan [] winters took their toll
And [] then they made it clear
The [] gill nets and the singers
[] Salmon and crab
The dull [] eyed girls of catchican
That [] took all that I had
I could[] sell the boat
Cash the [] whole thing down
Move [] back to the forty eight
Just tell [] stories back in that small town
[] its time to go [] home
Its [] time to go [] home
[] Where the night stayed [] too long
[] In a world thatâs [] just gone []wrong
Itâs[] time [] to go [] home
(Instrumental)
Well [] your T-shirtâs clean
Like your [] dungarees
IN [] eighteen days
You [] will be on your way overseas
Sit [] on the bed
With a [] warm six pack
Ah itâs [] not like they said
But itâs[] too late now to take it back
So you [] make some calls
But [] no oneâs home
You [] nurse your beers
And you [] spend the long night by the telephone
[] its time to go [] home
Its [] time to go [] home
[] Where the night stayed [] too long
[] In a world thatâs [] just gone []wrong
Itâs[] time [] to go [] home
