He was born on a Tuesday late in December

Early in the morning in the cold of the winter

She was born on a Sunday in heat of the summer

With the days getting longer and with the heart of a runner

She’s gone

The crumbling road will carry you home

Through the dark of the night by the light of the stars

She said

The crumbling road will carry you home

They met on a Friday in a spring to remember

It was coming down sideways

She was glowing like an ember

He knew by Monday when the skies had parted

That she’d had him by the heartstrings from the moment they started

She’s gone

The crumbling road will carry you home

Through the dark of the night by the light of the stars

She said

The crumbling road will carry you home

If there’s something you need

There’s a place you can go

You can get back home on a crumbling road

When it all burns down

If your sunshine is gone

You can get back home on a crumbling road

He woke on a Wednesday in the middle of a fall

In the cool of October and he knew she was gone

And he cried till Thursday when he recalled

The words that she said when they started it all

Now she’s gone

The crumbling road will carry you home

Through the dark of the night by the light of the stars

The crumbling road will carry you home

Oh yeah it will

The crumbling road will carry you home

Through the dark of the night by the light of the stars

The crumbling road will carry you home
