It’s a long time gone,
They cleaned out my room.
The cherry on top of lost days and gloom.
I had an angel, or maybe two,
Had a lot of things to get me through.
Been thinkin’ of foxes chasing down turkeys.
Boy, squaring that box, just wasn’t to be.
Engine quit stalling, just wait and see.
Sirens stop calling, they ain’t savin’ me…
Go Down Bedford, past the old steeple.
Go Down Bedford, past all the people.
May take a while, the sun will hit the dial.
Then you’ll know it’s time to go home..
Have you any time to go home?
Back in the holler, house on the hill.
Loosen that collar, forsake them cheap thrills.
Screen door captures a familiar scene.
For richer or poorer, done lost its sheen.
I know the face, but forget the name
Show me some grace, and I’ll take the blame.
Then you’ll know it’s time to go home.
Been sometimes tragic, been always true.
Time works a magic, it shines right through.
Time works a magic, it shines right through…
