My Waterloo - Walter Becker

I came a long long way from home

I travelled far just to be here today

Across an endless sea of salty tears

Behind the divided line of eighteen years

You gotta walk that road alone

You gotta walk that lonely

I wear my heart out on my sleeve

A sight you surely must have spied by now

I admit that I don’t even know your name

I feel like I could know you all the same

Are you gonna walk that road with me sometime

Or is it gonna be that lonely

Are you gonna walk that road with me this time

Don’t make me be that lonely

It’s still no easy thing to hold your head up high

When every time you turn around

Somebody kicks your statue down

I tried my best to hold my ground

I swore I’d never let it be this way

But now I broke my sword, dropped my gun

Just like some tragic beat napoleon

Now I gotta walk that road again

Now I gotta walk that lonely

Now I gotta walk that road one time

Now I gotta be that lonely

What with no better way to go

As long as I’m still kicking that gong around

I see this time I met my match in you

I know now that you are my waterloo

My waterloo
