Long way home

Esta canción de Hayes Carll es de esas que me descubro silbando una y otra vez (a veces, incluso, sin al principio qué es lo que estoy silbando, o de quién).

El sonido no es muy bueno, pero no he encontrado nada mejor en Youtube (aquí está en Spotify):



Ramblin' boy you been around
From Dallas to the underground
High above and down below
Places I was scared to go

You sang it loud in case they heard
Hangin' on to every word
Gentle as a lullaby
Firecrackers in your eyes

And I would give anything
For one more night to run
For one last song to sing

You weren't askin' much at all
Just catch you when you fall
On your own, the long way home


What's that sadness in your smile
You've been cryin' all the while
Could you lean upon my shoulder
I guess you'd die to just get older

So what are we supposed to do
Just walk around forever blue
And all this hurry up and wait
Was it chance or was it fate?

And I would give anything
For one more night to run
For one last song to sing

You weren't askin' much at all
Just catch you when you fall
On your own, the long way home

Hayes Carll

Por cierto, gracias a Youtube caigo en que es el mismo título que el de una canción de Tom Waits (aquí en Spotify) que canta Norah Jones:
