"Gwendolyn" lyrics

"Gwendolyn"

I don't think I can take another day
Oh I don't know how I could ever say
I'm OK being so far away
Oh I don't think that I can take another day

When Gwendolyn, when she starts to speak
To a county police with a plastic cup between her teeth
The sun beating down like a big trombone
That's right when I start missing home
She holds my hand between her knees
It's like a dream, I never know what it means
I only know I'm feeling alone
That's right when I start missing home

Honestly Gwen, I'm not ashamed to say
Between you and me, I'm relieved they put you away
Sun coming up like a piece of toast
That's right when I started heading home
That's right when I started heading home
Well that's right when I started heading home
