Sitting by the window of this brokendown hotel Trying to write a letter just to show you that Im well But Ive been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace And though there really is no reason, Ive been looking for your face Its such a long way home Its such a long way home Its such a long way Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms And then she whispered Oh dear Lord dont let him come to any harm And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but Please come home Its such a long way home Its such a long way home Its such a long way Oh so many people have to travel away From the ones that they love and they need But I want to tell you that all your life You can depend on me Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune And its the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon And as the band begins to play it, with a shock I realize That its a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry Its such a long way home Its such a long way home Its such a long way home Its such a long way, yes, such a long way home
