Betty Get Me Home by Tim Cameron Lyrics

When we made it to the border
Only wish they'd waited for us, Betty
But the wood was split with water
It was too cold to remain

Found the box of sad reminders
And wrote a note for those behind us, Betty
But all the time that I was writing
My words ran into rain

In the silence of the shelter
I wondered what I’d come here for
And a second heaven opened
As I held that broken door

Betty, get me home
Betty, get me home

Only wish I'd thought to tell them
In the quiet of that autumn morning
Waiting for the bus to take us
From the shore of lake Chelan
That in the end, there is no answer
But with my friends, I could forget the question
In your smile, there's no suggestion
I may be a broken man

But if there's a second heaven
Where the pointless pilgrims go
After they have touched their angel
Just to find it's only snow

Then I'll meet you by the water
And we'll walk this trail once more
I have left the living part of me
There, upon that perfect shore

Betty, get me home
Betty, get me home
Betty, get me home
Betty, get me home

I'm trying the best I can
But nobody understands
I'm smiling the best I can
But nobody understands
