Lyrics
April: ''Last night I stood at your doorstep, trying to figure out what went wrong. You just slipped something into my palm and you were gone. ''

Jack: ''I could smell the same deep green of summer ‘bove me the same night sky was glowin’, in the distance I could see the town where I was born. ''

April and Jack: It’s gonna be a long walk home, hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me, gonna be a long walk home…A long walk home…

April: Here everybody has a neighbor, everybody has a friend, everybody has a reason to begin again.

Jack: ''My father said ‘Son, we’re lucky in this town, it’s a beautiful place to be born. It just wraps its arms around you, nobody crowds you, and nobody goes it alone.’''

April: ‘Your flag flyin’ over the courthouse means certain things are set in stone, who we are, what we’ll do and what we won’t’

Jack and April: It’s gonna be a long walk home, Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me, gonna be a long walk home.

Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me…Gonna be a long walk home…It’s gonna be a long walk home…It’s gonna be a long walk home…
