Long Way Home

Long way home

It's hard to say from where you stand

Exactly when it all began

But someplace there's a point you cross the line

You see the tears than stain your face

Mirrored in your make-up case

And know it's time to leave this place behind

It's a long way home

It's a long way home

It's a long way home

Trying to retrace your steps

All too easy to forget

Just which way to go

It's a long way home

Outside the sky is threatening

You slowly gather up your things

And wonder how you ever will explain

Walking out so self-assured

Yeah, you were gonna change the world

Walking back, a child in the rain

It's a long way home

It's a long way home

It's a long way home

How can you retrace the steps

You've been trying to forget

Still it's time to go

And it's a long way home

And if you lose your way

Just keep your eye upon that endless broken line

Throw bag beneath the bus

Sit among the curious

It happens to the best of us, you know

It's a long way home

It's a long way home

It's a long way home

Starting to retrace your steps

You learn to live with your regrets

Next stop heaven knows

It's a long way home

Such a long way

It's a long way home
