wait so long - the tragically hip lyrics

[intro]
one, two, one, two, three, four

[verse 1]
i thought it was my duty as an honest man
raving about my country, doing what i can
with the luxury of hindsight, i suppose it was just a stand
she walked me down to the end of the road
and she laughed ’til she cried as she turned to go
she said, i think of you and you feel it and you know
i’m about to say

[chorus]
why you wanna wait so long?
if you’re gone this long, well, you gotta know he’s long gone
you’ve been building up defenses and memorizing sentences
just so you stay strong
why you wanna wait so long?

[verse 2]
it seems i’ve been offered for a life or two
two things now tell me what i gotta do
i’ve got my old man’s eyes and a dusty old picture of you
i don’t know how long i’ve been shouldеring my headstone
one morе hill and i’ll be coming on home
i can feel you down in the marrow of my bones
and i’m about to say
[chorus]
why you wanna wait so long?
if you’re gone this long, well, you gotta know he’s long gone
you’ve been building up defenses and memorizing sentences
just so you stay strong
why you wanna wait so long?
oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
mm*mm, oh, oh, oh, oh

[bridge]
well, i’ve been jumping over fences
and running through fresh cut fields of lavender
one more hill and i’ll be coming on home
one more hill and i’ll be coming on home
baby, baby, please hurry home
baby, please hurry home
baby, please hurry home

[outro]
i hope i know why you wanna wait so long
hm*mm
