Too Long To Call

[Verse 1]
With the setting of the sun, there comes a sorrow
That I been telling folks that I just don't see
But behind the stony glaze and the whiskey-soaked ballets
Slumps the man I've drawn myself to be
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Verse 2]
Seems the darkness comes a-creeping as I labor
To read, or write, or roll a joint or two
But as the dusty calm of evening settles on my narrow street
By my bed light, in my mind, I lie with you
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Chorus]
No, I can't take back my direction
That left you stranded in a place called home
And I don't know what to say to ever make it all okay
It's been too long to call and now you're gone
Whoa

[Verse 3]
Wеll, I heard that you got yourself a new man
And thеre's a baby on the way
Hey, I hope it still means something that I'm happy for you
I wish I could see the mother that you'll make
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Verse 4]
There are times I feel like hitting that old highway
And there are times that I just want to lay still
But as we all go slowly spinning towards the embers of our strength
By their gentle glow, I write my will
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Chorus]
No, I can't take back my direction
That left you stranded in a place called home
And I don't know what to say to ever make it all okay
It's been too long to call and now you're gone
Whoa
