I won’t ever cut my hair again,
I’ll let it grow and grow and grow,
‘Til it falls down everywhere around me
I’ll let it grow and grow and grow,
Let the wind carry it to the top of the trees.
I won’t ever wash my hands again,
I’ll let them stain, and stain, and stain,
Until every little piece of dirt
Tells a story of where we’ve been,
And what we’ve done,
Where we’ve been and what we’ve done.
So I walk to the edge of the world,
And I watch it all just float on by,
And I reach out my hand as far as I can,
And I hope you’ll recognize me,
Even though it is dark.
I won’t ever wash my clothes again,
I’ll let them fade, and fade, and fade,
And I hope that your scent sinks deep in,
So I can smell you everywhere.
And every time I close my eyes,
I see your face in front of me,
And every time I close my eyes,
I see your face in front of me.
(chorus)
I am so,
So close to home.
And I’m so,
So far away from you.
