Long Walk Home

Baby, you can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love will change your soul
And you’ll take the long walk home

Hello baby, haven’t seen you for a while
There’s a shadow on your face
Lie in your smile
You sent the world away
Everything’s just fine
But there’s a crowd for him
Behind your eyes

Baby, you can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love will change your soul
And you’ll take the long walk home

Another 5 a.m.
The cancer crawls
And you’re pressed against an invisible wall
And all the bottles are dry
And the city’s stuck
Keep hearing Johnny sing: “all you need is love”

Baby, you can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love will change your soul
And you’ll take the long walk home

And you can sleep the longest night
I believe you’ll wake in time
To open the window wide and breathe the brilliant light

Baby, you can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love will change your soul
And you’ll take the long walk home

You can light the fires of hell
And wrestle with the angels
You can pull down heavens blue
You can tear yourself in two
Before you blow each candle out
Reach into the dark
There’ll be a hand to hold
And we’ll take the long walk home

Baby lets walk so slow
Through the clear white snow
I won’t let your soul be broken
