Long Way Home

Long Way Home – 4:17

I turn on a lamp. I turn the TV down.
Set my watch, and I watch the Sun go down.
Stoke the fire inside. And I fan this old flame.
Count the stars staring down from the sky.
And I whisper your name.

Cross the road, across the way.
Feel the wind, begin to blow,
I know it won't blow me away.
Because everybody knows, everybody knows,
it's a long way home.

Now I light candle, and I wait for the moon to rise.
Open a bottle, and I set it right here by my side.
I don't stand in the shadows,
cuz there's nowhere left to hide.
I've always had to go my way alone.

Across the mountains, across the fields.
I search every stranger's face,
for the love I might steal.
But everybody knows, everybody knows
it's a long way home.

Cross My Heart, and I hope and I pray.
you can be right next door, and a thousand miles away.
But everybody knows, everybody knows,
it's a long way home.
It's just a long way home.
