It’s been a long day, just sitting
Watching the river flow by
If it were to carry me away
I don’t think I would mind
The shit I’ve seen and heard, I swear
Sitting here on the park bench
The place I come to feed my birds
Until I’m all out of bread
Today it’s hard to leave as the sun begins to set
So begins another night alone in bed
With no one beside me, her prayer card is all that’s left
With her hair rollers and her French barrettes
Mary, you slipped away on a dark day
And left me counting in dog years, yeah, you did
When I cried, you’d often pray
To deliver me from fear
But I want to sit down at our table once again
Watch you shuffle them bones
And show me you’re still able
To separate me from my doom
Oh
Tonight it’s hard to leave
I just sank into this booth
I just noticed it’s somehow a corner too
With no one beside me to help me sing these blues
Or tell me that I’m wearing different shoes
Tonight it’s hard to leave
Man, ain’t that the truth
I’d run but I don’t know where to
It’s been a long day, just sitting
Watching the river flow by
If it were to carry me away
Hell, I don’t think I would mind
I don’t think I would mind
