Well, she looks so small, she looks so frailIt was like the world forgot her as she stood outside the jailThey sit and stare, they rarely speakShe comes to see him the same time every weekNever wants to leave, but she knows she mustThen the yellow cat comes right on timeAnd scoops her up like a speck of dustJust when it's time to go homeIt's time to go homeWhere the night stayed too longIn a world that's just gone wrongIt's time to go homeHow did one summer become nineteen years?The Alaskan winters took their tollAnd then they made it clearThe gillnets and seiners, salmon and crabThe dull-eyed girls of KetchikanThat took all that I hadI could set the boat and cash the whole thing downMove back to the forty-eightJust tell stories back in that small townIt's time to go homeIt's time to go homeWhere the night stayed too longIn a world that's just gone wrongIt's time to go homeWhere your T-shirt's clean like your donqueriesAnd empty days you will be on your way overseasSit on the bed with a warm six-packAw, it's not like how they saidBut it's too late now to take it backSo you make some calls, but no one's homeYou nurse your bears, spend the long nightBy the telephoneIt's time to go homeIt's time to go homeWhere the night stayed too longIn a world that's just gone wrongIt's time to go homeThank you for watching!
