The Long Walk Back - A Slice of Saturday Night - Original London Cast

The Long Walk Back Lyrics

I stand transfixed with fear and dread
Should I ask her to dance
Heaven awaits if she says yes
but can I take the chance
Of the long walk back, if she says no
Across the empty floor
The sneering looks, the mocking eyes
would cut me to the core
I've seen so many brave young men
set out so proud and strong
returning bent and shuffling wrecks
there nerve and manhood gone
Oh god I humbly beg from you
One minute of your time
will her answer be yes or no
please god, give me a sign.
