Nanci griffith last of the true believers lyrics

Oh, he said it was the sound of the winter callin'

from up around the bend

Or it could be the cry of your restless heart

for the love of your long lost friends

Me, I think it's just the summertime and the heat of these Texas winds

They keep on slappin' my face with dust so thick

that the tears won't roll again



(chorus) 

Last of the true believers 

Have you grown weary all alone? 

You could go home again...home again...home 

Last of the true believers 

You pack your things and go back home 

You could go home again...home again...home 

Oh he said, "you can't stay away forever

'cause they say love doesn't last that long

and the ghost of the one that you loved the best is bound to be long gone

So you fall for the one you believe in and take pride in the heart you hold

'Cause when the wintertime pounds upon your door...

it's shelter from the cold".



(repeat chorus)



There's a shadow on our wall where I once stood with him in mind

And there is an empty space beside him

where I do take my rest at night

Oh, I will be the last of the true believers... if truth is his heart to lend

'Cause the wintertime sure looks cold to me... comin' up around the bend



(repeat chorus)



(tag)

Oh, I could go home again... home again... home

Well, it looks like home again... home again... home

Oh, I could go home again... home again... home

Well, he brings me home again... home again... home...
