Lyrics

Do I see a letter
Leaning up against my door
Did see send my money
I know she must be sore
Know it’s just another bill
Some other fool wants more
And it’s Such a long Haul for such a Short Fall

I’ve made that jump before
And if they see me sneaking
Down that fire escape at two
Sildin’ down the alley
Lord I did not leave a clue
And if I can’t pay my rent
Eviction is overdue
And it’s Such a long Haul for such a Short Fall
That’s why I’m calling you

And it’s Such a long Haul for such a Short Fall
In the one year since we parted
I say your doing well that’s not hard to tell
But hell i can’t get started

Now I could be a junkie
Looking for some easy thrill
But I don’t got no water
And I’m afraid of swallowing pills
Oh I always thought that Jesus never took his eyes off me
But now I think his glass is broke or else he just can’t see

And that’s why it’s Such a long Haul for such a Short Fall
From my island to my hole in the sea
Such a long Haul for such a Short Fall
The situation is to much for me

And it’s Such a long Haul for such a Short Fall
In the one year since we parted
I say your doing well that’s not hard to tell
But hell I can’t get started

And I always thought that Jesus never took his eyes off me
But now I know that his glass is broke or else he just can’t see

That’s why it’s Such a long Haul for such a Short Fall
From my island to my hole in the sea
Such a long Haul for such a Short Fall
The situation is to much for me
