Allan Taylor So Long song lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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
