The Last Of The True Believers Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Oh, he said it was the sound of the winter callin' 

From up around the bend or it could be 

The cry of your restless heart 

For the love of your long lost friends 

Oh, but me I think it's just the summertime 

And the heat of these Texas winds 

They keep on slappin' my face with dust so thick 

That the tears won't roll again 

Last of the true believers have you grown a weary all alone? 

You could go home again, home again, a home 

Last of the true believers, she pack your things and go back home 

You could go home again, home again, a home 

Oh, he said, "You can't stay away forever 

'Cause they say love doesn't last that long 

And the ghost of the one that you loved the best 

Is bound to be long gone" 

So you fall for the one you believe in 

And take pride in the heart you hold 

'Cause when the wintertime pounds upon your door 

It's shelter from the cold 

Last of the true believers have you grown a weary all alone? 

You could go home again, home again, a home 

Last of the true believers, she pack your things and go back home 

You could go home again, home again, a home 

There's a shadow on our wall 

Where I once stood with him in mind 

And there is an empty space beside him 

Where I do take my rest at night 

Oh, and I will be the last of the true believers 

If truth is his heart to lend 

'Cause the wintertime sure looks cold to me 

Comin' up around the bend 

Last of the true believers have you grown a weary all alone? 

You could go home again, home again, a home 

Last of the true believers, she pack your things and go back home 

You could go home again, home again, a home 

Oh, I could go home again, home again, a home 

Well, it looks like home again, home again, a home 

Oh, I could go home again, home again, a home 

Well, he brings me home again, home again, home
