A Long Way Home
as I was out walkin' one cool summer's evenin' the sky was all shadowed and scattered with rain an old gentleman busker I happened to pass with harmonica melodies played in refrain I reached in my pocket for money to pay I knew it was true for he played it that way
it's a long way home many a mile to a bed of your own it's a long way home weary you've grown on your own
oh I stood by the river that ran through the city with waters that washed away off to the sea six thousand miles to the Northwest Pacific a long-distance vision in faint memory sometimes you know it gets so hard to see Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com then somebody tells you just where you should be
old Grandmother Angel with baskets of flowers and newspaper packages under her arm she talked as she walked with her friends the invisibles easy to be with they meant her no harm all of the others have moved under ground but she's never alone when her friends are around
oh the world it is wide and far 'round its borders from the west to the east it's a long way to go to pick up your roots and to travel all over to take a good look to see how much you know not to get fooled or to let it slip loose but to take it in hand and to put it to use
