mark erelli - time to go home lyrics

[verse 1]
well, she looked so small
she looked so frail
it was like the world forgot her
as she stood outside the jail
they sit and stare
they rarely speak
and she comes to see him
the same time every week
and never wants to leave
but she knows she must
then the yellow cab comes right on time
scoops her up like a speck of dust

[chorus]
when it’s time to go home
it’s time to go home
where the night stays too long
in a world that’s just gone wrong
it’s time to go home

[verse 2]
how did one summer
become nineteen years?
the alaskan winters took their toll
and then they made it clear
the gill nets and seiners
the salmon and the crab
the dull+eyed girls of ketchikan
that took all that i had
i could sell the boat
cash the whole thing down
and move back to the forty+eight
just tell stories back in that small town
[chorus]
it’s time to go home
it’s time to go home
where the nights stay too long
in a world that’s just gone wrong
it’s time to go home

[verse 3]
well, your t+shirt’s clean
like your dungarees
and in two days
you will be on your way overseas
sit on the bed
with a warm six+pack
ah, it’s not like how they said
but it’s too late now to take it back
so you make some calls
but no one’s home
you nurse your beers
and spend the long night by the telephone

[chorus]
when it’s time to go home
it’s time to go home
where the nights stay too long
in a world that’s just gone wrong
it’s time to go home
