Lyrics
Verse
Do you think about those things we said we’d do?
Back when my skirts were long, and stares felt shorter too
I’ve grown an inch since then, or maybe five at short
I hope you’re singing still, Ma always loved your sort
Did you move out fast? Just like you spoke about
I’m sure your hair grew long, but your jeans are still cut short
I see your sister ‘round, she’s got a laugh like yours
I hope you sing about, our summer, after course
Chorus
Well I’m a long long ways, away from home
And I’m not sure if I still belong
I’ll try to look back to what we both would say
But I think I might just go back
To Kempenfelt Bay
Verse
I’ve got a job downtown, not much to brag about.
I spend my nights alone, oh just tryin’ to catch my thoughts
I saw a man like you, stood tall with shoulders taut
I like to wonder ‘bout, the girl whose heart you caught
Chorus
Well I’m a long long ways, away from home
And I’m not sure if I still belong
I’ll try to look back to what we both would say
But I think I might just go back
To Kempenfelt Bay
Bridge
the moon is dimming, and I’m tired of swimming
Through my pools of linen, regrets of careful women
I’ll just close my window, so the night seems thinner
Through my room of feverless sighs
Chorus
Well I’m a long long ways, away from home
And I’m not sure if I still belong
I’ll try to look back to what we both would say
But I think I might just go back
To Kempenfelt Bay
