Intro: Verse: 1 She took a long time to go Sittin' on the porch, looking way down the road, and waiting For the right time to come For leaving home For leaving home Instrumental: Verse: 2 Light in her eyes when the doorbell rings She runs to see what the mailman brings Another letter from so far away She reads it ten times a day She reads it ten times a day Instrumental: Verse: 3 Suitcase lying in the hall She's waiting for the telephone call Let her go, let her fly away There's nothing left to see There's nothing left to see Instrumental: Verse: 4 Lazy moon hangin' in the air Catches the light in her long brown hair Lying awake she hears a night train cry This is so long honey, goodbye This is so long honey, goodbye Bridge So long, I can't wait So long, got to get away So long, I waited too long So long, I got to be moving on I got to be moving on Instrumental Verse: 5 She took a long time to go Sittin' on the porch, looking way down the road, and waiting For the right time to come For leaving home For leaving home
