Betty Get Me Home

When we made it to the border Only wish they'd waited for us, Betty But the wood was split with water It was too cold to remain Found the box of sad reminders And wrote a note for those behind us, Betty But all the time that I was writing My words ran into rain In the silence of the shelter I wondered what I'd come here for And a second heaven opened As I held that broken door Betty, get me home Betty, get me home Only wish I'd thought to tell them In the quiet of that autumn morning Waiting for the bus to take us From the shore of lake Chelan That in the end, there is no answer But with my friends, I could forget the question In your smile, there's no suggestion I may be a broken man But if there's a second heaven Where the pointless pilgrims go After they have touched their angel Just to find it's only snow Then I'll meet you by the water And we'll walk this trail once more I have left the living part of me There, upon that perfect shore Betty, get me home Betty, get me home Betty, get me home Betty, get me home I'm trying the best I can But nobody understands I'm smiling the best I can But nobody understands
