Its hard to say from where you stand Exactly when it all began But someplace theres a point you cross the line You see the tears than stain your face Mirrored in your makeup case And know its time to leave this place behind Chorus Its a long way home Its a long way home Its a long way home Trying to retrace your steps All too easy to forget Just which way to go Its 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 selfassured Yeah, you were gonna change the world Walking back, a child in the rain Chorus Its a long way home Its a long way home Its a long way home How can you retrace the steps Youve been trying to forget Still its time to go And its 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 Chorus Its a long way home Its a long way home Its a long way home Starting to retrace your steps You learn to live with your regrets Next stop heaven knows Its a long way home Such a long way Its a long way home
