Lyrics
Badge in my pocket, shoes gone soft Twelve hours of other people's night The street is quiet, the sky is soft grey My feet know the way, my head is light I held a hand, I said it's all right Now no one's holding mine tonight Walk me home, slow streetlights Count me through the last of the night I did what I could, I did my part Walk me home, with a quiet heart A baker waves from a yellow door Hands me a roll still warm and round I eat it walking, I don't say a word The best thanks of the day needs no sound I held a hand, I said it's all right Now no one's holding mine tonight Walk me home, slow streetlights Count me through the last of the night I did what I could, I did my part Walk me home, with a quiet heart Curtains closing on the morning light Kettle on, and the world turns white Somewhere a person is sleeping sound Because someone was awake, and around Walk me home, slow streetlights Count me through the last of the night I did what I could, I did my part Walk me home, with a quiet heart Walk me home With a quiet heart
