Ballard 'N Storms - Longest Day of the Year Lyrics

Some see a killer, I see a friend
Scars on the outside, plenty more within
No idea where he's going, but he sure knew where he'd been
So we opened up our door and we let him in

I've seen this movie, you've seen it too
I know how it ends before we're halfway through
So I count down the minutes, I know you're counting them too
Living in the moment's so hard to do

I'm higher than a satellite or that Chinese spy balloon
And he's lonelier than a liquor store on a Sunday afternoon
We get along just fine but I am finding myself terrified
He's 60 pounds of muscle, teeth, and the softest yellow eyes

I woke up this morning and I knew it was time
Pretend things are normal, say my goodbyes
So I count down the minutes till he closes his eyes
It's the last time and he don't even realize

I'm lower than a coal mine or a snowman in the month of June
He's lonelier than a liquor store on a Sunday afternoon
The church bells they are ringing, I guess I gotta get home soon
I won't be caught out in the sunshine with a killer on the loose

It's the longest day of the year
I can't wait till tomorrow, I'll get the hell outta here
So I count down the minutes till I can't see the sun
And that mother and child reunion
I know there's a mother and child reunion
