Gone so long and I was going home
Straw man, red sun, river gold
How now child, have you become a man
Well tell me who's here living and who's dead
On that deep, rolling track
I almost doubled back
I was halfway there and the night was nearly gone
I left home when I was just a kid
To be the gallant rider that my father bid
Fine of bone, yes, terrifying
And oh to see my buckle shine
And I started out feeling tall
Then I couldn't feel at all
And I was told that I would fall from a mighty height
A domino stands in the yard
Today, today, by God
I was reminded of when we were young
The way that domino stands in the yard
I help the swan in the little neck
Rolling wheel the stars once crack
Look out now at the pass of time
Oh I cannot find a single one of mine
Just outside this town
Oh Lord I had a breakdown
That's the closest that I've come to going home
A domino stands in the yard
Today, today, by God
I was reminded of when we were young
The way that domino stands in the yard
