TAKIN' THAT LONG WALK HOME

Writers: 

Gerry Goffin and Carole King

Lyrics: 

Though you are leavin'
I won't be grievin'
I know someday when you are on your own
You're gonna find yourself on Lonely Street
Takin' that long walk home

I know your new love
Won't be a true love
I know someday she'll leave you all alone
And then you'll find yourself on Lonely Street
Takin' that long walk home

You're gonna swim a river of tears
You'll have to climb a mountain of heartaches
You'll look behind, then
And you will find, then
I was the truest love you'd ever known
You're gonna find yourself on Lonely Street
Takin' that long walk home

You're gonna find yourself on Lonely Street
You're gonna be takin' that long walk home
I know you're gonna lose out
Takin' that long walk home
You're gonna wear your shoes out
Takin' that long walk home
You're gonna cry the blues now
Takin' that long walk home
