"Lafayette" lyrics - WATKINS FAMILY HOUR

[Verse 1: Sean Watkins]
It's a thousand miles
And seven hundred more
To your arms from this palette on the floor

[Verse 2: Sean Watkins]
It's been a while
Ten years or more
Still my heart is your prisoner of war

[Verse 3: Sean Watkins, Sean & Sara Watkins]
It's a long way down a broken road
Back to where I'm from
California's fading in the sun

[Chorus: Sean & Sara Watkins]
Somewhere along this lonesome road
I abandoned my love
Please don't forget me, Lafayette
When there's nowhere left to run

[Verse 4: Sean & Sara Watkins]
Hollywood's fine
When it's not burning down
Broken dreams set the picture and sound

[Verse 5: Sean & Sara Watkins]
I build my time
And I could leave here now
But maybe this year, everything'll turn around

[Verse 6: Sean & Sara Watkins]
It's a long way down a broken road
Back to where I'm from
California's quaking in the sun

[Chorus: Sean & Sara Watkins]
Somewhere along this lonesome road
I abandoned my love
But please don't forget me, Lafayette
When there's nowhere left to run

[Refrain: Sean & Sara Watkins]
It's a long way down a broken road
Back to where I'm from
California's fading in the sun

[Outro: Sean & Sara Watkins]
Somewhere along this lonesome road
I abandoned my love
But please don't forget me, Lafayette
When there's nowhere
When there's nowhere
When there's nowhere
Left to run
