Richmond regarded his solitude
Merton regarded

[Richard's voice overlapping]
[whispering]
Richmond?
Richmond?
Richard.
Richard regarded his solitude
as something sacred.
[typewriter keys clacking]

Got to find a way back home
Got to find a way

Got to find a way back home
[stirring rock music]

- Yes, you are.
- l'm sorry.
l'm gonna need some help
getting this couch in.
- Got to find a way
to get home strong
Got to find a way back home
Richard regarded his solitude
as something sacred,
as a well-earned
badge of honor,
a cloak to be worn
to ward off life,
as his safety.
Solitude is who he was.
to view him
with a barely veiled contempt.
Richard was certain
that he was not liked,
which is hard on a man.
Maybe it was because
he gave nothing
that he received nothing
in return.
ln any case, his situation
had become intolerable.
The closest things
he had to friends
were either imaginary
or extinct.
Richard had reached a point
in his life
where this was no longer
enough.
And then he met a girl,
and she was warm,
and she was sad,
and she was maybe lonely
in a way
that reminded him of himself.
She'd lost things that a girl
should never have lost.
And she knew things,
and she taught him.
And Richard thought,
"Maybe this is what friendship
feels like.
Maybe."
lt was just a glimpse.
They'd barely begun, really.
But in those long
few winter days,
she'd given him so much,
enough so that Richard
could go on.
And what had he given her?
Just a few words on a page.
Not much, perhaps.
But for Abby,
he hoped it was enough.
[gull cawing]
[bittersweet music]
- Got to find a way
to get home strong
Got to find a way back home
Got to find a light
to guide me home
Got to find a way back home
- Okay.
- Got to find a way
back home
[wistful rock music]
- l broke the door
l broke the furniture
l painted pictures
Did it for you
Oh, ho
Oh, oh
l said good-bye
To my whole family
l hope they'll miss me
As much as you
[bright acoustic guitar music]
to sand
So l'm sure that we will
Recognize our landmark soon
Wanderlust has lost
its shine
lt's left me cold,
and we're running out of time
As we wonder how much longer
we can keep
Our cars in tune
And I onIy know that I'II
never be the boy wonder
Yeah, l only know that l'll
never be the boy wonder
It's too Iate
for that sort of thing now
Maybe l'll just cut my losses
in this city
That is how
we say "surrender"
Driftwood finds
its way to sand
And they're wondering
if they'll somehow
see a grandson soon
And I onIy know that I'II
never be the boy wonder
It's too Iate
for that sort of thing now
Maybe l'll just cut my losses
in this city
That is how
we say "surrender"
[humming]
Now if l get carried away,
l'll get plowed under
So I can't forget that I'II
never be the boy wonder
l'm too gray
And l'm too beat down
l could just come to my senses
then retire to some smaII town
And just surrender
Driftwood finds
its way to sand
So l'm sure that we will
Recognize our landmark soon
