The Long Road
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.
I was a child. I thought time was so long
I longed for the days when my growing was done
Then take up my place in the world full of heroes
Always be true to the hearts that I’d won
It’s a long lonely road that we travel
It’s a long lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It’s a long lonely road that we share
It’s a long lonely road that we share
When I finished school I thought life would begin
My fortune be found and the money roll in
I would live in the sunlight today and forever
Be sure of the glory tomorrow would bring
It’s a long lonely road that we travel
It’s a long lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It’s a long lonely road that we share
It’s a long lonely road that we share
It’s a long lonely road that we travel
It’s a long lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It’s a long lonely road that we share
It’s a long lonely road that we share
And I wait
And I wait
By the sign of your footsteps
And I wait
And I wait
By the sound of your voice
Now that my dreams are no longer my own
All that you say I still travel alone
I would trade my whole life for an hour in your arms
The telephone rings and there’s nobody home
It’s a long lonely road that we travel
It’s a long lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It’s a long lonely road that we share
It’s a long lonely road that we share
It’s a long lonely road that we travel
It’s a long lonely road that we bear
And I may walk with you, for I know what is true
It’s a long lonely road that we share
It’s a long lonely road that we share
