Lyrics for Long Away

You might believe in Heaven I would not care to say For every star in Heaven There's a sad soul here today Wake up in the morning with a good face Stare at the Moon all-day Lonely as a whisper on a star chase Does anyone care anyway? For all the prayers in Heaven So much of life's this way Did we leave our way behind us? Such a long, long way behind us? Who knows when, now who knows where? Where the light of day will find us? Look for the day Take heart, my friend, we love you Though it seems like you're alone A million lights above you Smile down upon your home Oh, hurry, put your troubles in a suitcase Come, let the new child play Lonely as a whisper on a star chase I'm leaving here, I'm long away For all the stars in Heaven I would not live I could not live this way Did we leave our way behind us? Such a long, long way behind us? Leave it for some hopeless lane Such a long, long way Such a long, long way Such a long, long way Such a long, long way I'm looking for Looking for that day
