Long Way Home

Lyrics for Long Way Home

It's been a long way home And I'm afraid the fire's gone I just wanna be alone It's been a long way home I'll write a sad, a very sad song I'll write it neat, it won't be long And I will try to make it true As I have been to you Oh mother, mother, make my bed I wanna sleep for a while Outside the winds are blowing high Will you stay by my side? (...) I've been away, I lived aside On an ocean both far and wide I know it was all a lie It's best to lie sometimes Do you remember, were you around Did you hear that awful sound Oh no, you were nowhere to be found When my great ship went down Oh mother, mother, make my bed I wanna sleep for a while Outside the winds are blowing high Will you stay by my side?
