Langsford Road
Everything I owned got torn to dust, too
So I could just
Shine my shoes and buy a brand new suit
I might climb up
to the elevated heights of all the finest towers
And drink my coffee with the queen
I called her baby
A Langford Road kind of lady
She’s more down to earth than new spring grass
We started off and it felt all funny
The wind blew hard and I drifted through my twenties
Had to drive home with my eyes closed
But now I’m back
And if I could I would have married her sooner than I had
I tried to listen
each time she tried to tell me different
If at times I let my eyes grow wide
Again and again I tried to roughen up the edges a bit
And just see her how I saw her for the first time
I called her baby
A Langford Road kind of lady
She’s more down to earth than new spring grass
We started off and it felt all funny
The wind blew hard and I drifted through my twenties
Had to drive home with my eyes closed
But now I’m back
And if I could I would have married her sooner than I had
