Lyrics
Long Journey Home
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Near the dawn she crept in
Sittin' on the edge of a bed made up to look like it'd been slept in
And it was dark where I was lyin'
But I could see her face
It looked like she'd been cryin'.
And it's a long, long journey home.
I drink my coffee by the door
And watch an old man on the street I think I've seen him before
Because he's out there every week
Goin' through my trash
He knows me but we never speak.
It's a long, long journey home
It's a long, long time to feel alone.
Forgiveness and favor earned
Traveling on lessons learned
We are all alone in this together
As far's I'm concerned.
And it's a long, long journey home
It's a long, long time to feel alone.
Well, I have been rejected
By the very one I carefully selected
So I know what you mean
When you say you stumble on the way to the guillotine.
It's a long, long journey home
It's a long, long time to feel alone.
It's a long, long, long journey home
La la la la.
