Lyrics

I’ve been gone, a long, long time
Leaving pieces, piece of me behind
Like breadcrumbs down the trail
From the hole in my pocket, no soles on my shoes
The blood in my sock it’s from walking the blues
On nails a long, long, long, long time.

I hear those bells, bells, bells starting to chime.
I started out walking to a far wishing well.
Dropped all my pennies, and cried as they fell
A long, long time, long time.

I hear those bells, bells, bells starting to chime.
I started out walking to a far wishing well.
Dropped all my pennies, and cried as they fell
A long, long time, long time.

My jacket got caught when I walked out your door.
It’s pulling me back from the hole that it tore,
Unravelling, unravelling, unravelling
And each day is colder than the one before
And I’ve been gone a long, long, long, long time.

I’ve been gone, a long, long time
Leaving pieces, piece of me behind
Like breadcrumbs down the trail
From the hole in my pocket, no soles on my shoes
The blood in my sock it’s from walking the blues
On nails a long, long, long, long time.

Bought time I made my bed.
Bout time I rest my head.
Bout time I find my mind a kind of silence.
Cause it’s been gone a long time.
