Allan Taylor So Long 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
