We're All Just Walking Each Other Home

Momma got lonely the first time her daughter decided to fly from the nest
They packed up a suitcase with all of her things
And she went to find home in the west
Through twinkling eyes and reluctant goodbyes
She just held her and tried not to cry
Then left without light, driving out through the night
She got lost like a wave to the tide

But don't be afraid
You won't have to go through this alone
We're all just walking each other home

Well Betty got sick, so he helped her get better
She wore the red sweater to bed
They laughed about laying on concrete and falling asleep
But she stayed there instead
She woke to find all sorts of scars across both of his arms
As the light trickled through
But he held her so tightly and said
"I don't know what I'd be if I hadn't found you"

So don't be afraid
You won't have to go through this alone
We're all just walking each other home

David is waiting for Dad to come home
He stands open-armed by the gates
He longs for his mother, though so terrified
That she might not remember his face
Well I know it gets hard when the years are so long
And you feel overthrown by despair
I'm not sure if the sky is just vapour and air
But I know that they'll look for you there

And brother I promise you won't spend forever alone
We're all just walking each other home

We're all just walking each other home
