about

'Walk Me Home' tries to evoke the unconscious disbelief of someone being gone for good; you can never really appreciate that they aren't coming back until they don't come back. It also tells of, having being with and cared for someone for so long, the inability to settle anywhere and the reluctance to allow change.

lyrics

If you see me drifting off, kick me out into the cold
I dare not entertain the rest.
Should I not make the most of your kindly welcome to the fold
just know that elsewhere has me pressed.

While it pains me to refuse,
and I loathe to spurn an open hand,
on this occasion please excuse
I can't be part of any plan, because

she'll be back to walk me home.


Should the second hand be lost beneath a sigh of solace found
give me a stone to roll uphill.
When you're all beautified and glossed, stepping out into the town
I'm best left monochrome and still.

So, while I'm grateful for your time
- I know it's such a precious thing to give -
I'm afraid I'm governed by the chime
and humbly ask that you forgive, because

She'll be back to walk me home
She said so and she never had the grace to tell a lie
so I'll keep my coat and shoes on and watch those milestones pass me by.


At the risk of being a most ungracious guest
knowing full well that you'd never seee me lost
and although I won't dispute I need that rest
rest assured the end will justify the cost
when she comes back to walk me home.
