Lyrics
A Long Way 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.
Don't look inside
No, don't look there
'Cause you might find
Yourself somewhere
Walkin' 'round
Lost and alone
Without one clue
That it's a long way home
Years and years
Is a lot of time
To drag your heart across
Every rock you find
Hate is deep
And its pull is strong
But the passion's short
Then it's a long way home
I can't take
One single step for you
But I might just help
To find some
small pathway through
Don't look back
'Cause you might see
Just how far
All that used to be
Just let your mind
Think on what's gone
And then you'll know
That it's a long way home
Yeah, you'll know
That it's a long way home
You'll find out
That it's a long way home
There ain't no doubt
That it's a long way home
