Maura O'Connell - Long ride home

^CLong black Limousine Shiniest car I've ever seen ^FThe back seat is nice and clean ^CShe rides as quiet as a dream

^GSomeone dug a hole six long ^Ffeet in the ^Cground ^GI said goodbye to you and I ^Fthrew my roses ^Cdown ^GAin't nothing left at all in the ^Fend of being ^Cproud With me ^Friding in this car, and you ^Gflying through the clouds

^FI've had some time to think about ^Cyou ^FAnd watch the sun set like a ^Cstone ^FI've had some time to think a^Ambout you On the ^Glong ride ^Chome

One ^Cday I took your tiny hand Put your finger in the wedding band ^FYour daddy gave a piece of land ^CWe laid ourselves the best of plans

^GForty years go by with someone ^Flaying in your ^Cbed ^GForty years of things you say you ^Fwish you'd never ^Csaid ^GHow hard would it have been to say some ^Fkinder words in^Cstead I ^Fwonder as I stare up at the ^Gsky turning red

^FI've had some time to think about ^Cyou ^FAnd watch the sun set like a ^Cstone ^FI've had some time to think a^Ambout you On the ^Glong ride ^Chome

^FHeadlights staring at the ^Cdriveway ^FThe house is dark as it can ^Gbe ^FI go inside and all is ^Amsilent And it seems as ^Gempty as the inside of me

^FI've had some time to think about ^Cyou ^FAnd watch the sun set like a ^Cstone ^FI've had some time to think a^Ambout you On the ^Glong, on the ^Flong On the ^Glong, on the ^Flong On the ^Glong On the ^Flong ride ^Chome ^{F C F C}
