Long Way Back

next song/previous song

Making every twist and feeling every turn
It's a long way back
I think of all the things I learned and all the things I lack
It's a long way back
Through the wind and snow
Through weather high and low
Nothing can divert me
Along the road I go
But as the miles roll by, I know
It's a long way back

Living on a hope and meaning every prayer
It's a long way back
Loving can be blind, love can turn to black
It's a long way back
How was I to know
That I would love you so
Even if it lasts forever
How am I to know
And as the tears roll by, I know
It's a long way back

I think about my school days and all my change of heart
It's a long way back
Forgetting all the plans I made, I just take in the slack
It's a long way back
My weary way I wend
Around another bend
I see the beginning
And I can see the end
And as the years roll by, I know
It's a long way back
