Longhope

Don’t leave her hanging around

She won’t wait there forever

Has a cat got your tongue?

Are words locked in your lungs?

Just breathe in and breathe out

I think of you often

But how can I soften these evergreens

From keeping their shade

Though the snow falls today?

They’ll reveal themselves tomorrow

My hands were shaking as we drove away

And your voice, it was more than a miracle

That night as we drove through the sleet and the snow

I think of all you’ve endured

Please don’t let us fold

Longhope, yeah, I’m coming home

Longhope, yeah, I am coming home

Longhope

I took a walk with you

And I saw the world anew

In the Mayhill pines

Down paths where Frost walks beside

Old memories brought back to life

Whispering, "please don’t forget me"

My thoughts are all strangling

The words are all dangling before my eyes

But it’s getting so dark in here

I can’t really see anything clear

I’m just feeling my way through

The Winter night

My hands were shaking as we drove away

And your voice, it was more than a miracle

I know I put you through sleet and through snow

But now we’ve endured, I won’t let us fold

Longhope, yeah, I’m coming home

Longhope, yeah, I’m coming home

Longhope
