lyrics

God Speed Helena

David driving down
The road in the family car
With nothing but a
Tambourine and an old
Scratched up guitar
But the night carries on
Carries on

David takes a break about
One mile outside Paris
He sits down by the road and
Starts to write a brand new chorus
And it goes a little
Something like this

God Speed Helena
There’s no telling ya
How long
How long
How long
I’ll be traveling far babe
In the family car
But I will never forget you

God Speed Helena
There’s no telling ya
How long
How long
How long
I’ll be traveling far babe
In the family car
But I will never forget you

Mother, brother, father
And his sister Joanne
Call to ask if he’s ok and
What the hell he’s planned

He says
I’m writing Songs
And leaving town
I took the family car
I know I’ve let you down

But I don’t think
I am coming home again
I think it’s part of
A bigger thing

And I
I’ve been singing
This song I wrote
This is how it goes

God Speed Helena
There’s no telling ya
How long
How long
How long
I’ll be traveling far babe
In the family car
But I will never forget you

God Speed Helena
There’s no telling ya
How long
How long
How long
I’ll be traveling far babe
In the family car
But I will never forget you

God Speed Helena
There’s no telling ya
How long
How long
How long
I’ll be traveling far babe
In the family car
But I will never forget you

Robert Horvath, Fernando Perdomo, and Hugh Macdonald have released their debut album A Day in The Life in 2021.
