Long Walk Home

from Still Life by The New Warden

/

lyrics

Oh St. Jude, won't you find me? A lost cause somewhere in between Waltham and Fenway. It's a long walk home, my steps are slow; the streetlights are turning off for the night and I've got miles left to go. And it's a long walk home. And that barroom was just as jammed as a fresh pack of cigarettes. I shook myself loose and stumbled out for a smoke in the night and a break from the crowd. Well, you know that once I start drinking I'm not much for judging distances. Saw Lansdowne bar crowds in front of me. Felt fight or flight and beat a swift retreat. Pounding pavement for block after block, counting steps and progress slow. Dawn's breaking free of the Pike out East and I've got miles left to go. And all my worst habits defined a course, from overpass to overpass, described on a plumb line; down-bound in precision measured increments. That's the way it's always been.
