Nanci Griffith - The Last Of The True Believers lyrics

Oh, he said it was the sound of the winter callin' from up around the bend Or it could be the cry of your restless heart for the love of your long lost friends Me, I think it's just the summertime and the heat of these Texas winds They keep on slappin' my face with dust so thick that the tears won't roll again Last of the true believers Have you grown weary all alone? You could go home again...home again...home Last of the true believers You pack your things and go back home You could go home again...home again...home Oh he said, "you can't stay away forever 'cause they say love doesn't last that long and the ghost of the one that you loved the best is bound to be long gone So you fall for the one you believe in and take pride in the heart you hold 'Cause when the wintertime pounds upon your door... it's shelter from the cold". Last of the true believers Have you grown weary all alone? You could go home again...home again...home Last of the true believers You pack your things and go back home You could go home again...home again...home There's a shadow on our wall where I once stood with him in mind And there is an empty space beside him where I do take my rest at night Oh, I will be the last of the true believers... if truth is his heart to lend 'Cause the wintertime sure looks cold to me... comin' up around the bend Last of the true believers Have you grown weary all alone? You could go home again...home again...home Last of the true believers You pack your things and go back home You could go home again...home again...home Oh, I could go home again... home again... home Well, it looks like home again... home again... home Oh, I could go home again... home again... home Well, he brings me home again... home again... home..
