Lyrics Long Way From Home - Oi Va Voi

Long Way From Home

The stars in the southern skies dance in her eyes so sincere
The watery moon starts to rise and to croon to the spheres
The sandy wind kisses your cheeks and she wishes you well
You’re wondering when you might be here again under her spell
Your penchant for fun seems to roll off the tongue like a dream
The night is still young there’s still time for fun before you leave
Under the palm trees you’re weak at the knees from the way she stares at you
Those exotic eyes completely mesmerise you
You knew all along that as soon as you’d gone there’d be tears
Your eyes are a blur as the memory of her perseveres
On and on in your mind you’re repeating the line that she whispered in your ears
I can’t let you go without a little souvenir
Now that you’re gone
You feel so alone
You’re empty handed and you’re stranded such a long long way from home
A long way from home you continue to roam and explore
If things go to plan you’ll see many a land from Brazil to Ecuador
When she asks ‘do you miss me' your eyes go all misty
Your heart is tied in knots
But it’ll unravel the further you travel and all we be forgot
Now that you’re gone
You feel so alone
You’re empty handed and you’re stranded such a long long way from home
