Long Way from Home |
| Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope |
| God and medicine take no mercy on him |
| Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat |
| Enough is enough, he’s a long way from home |
| Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool |
| Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt |
| I flew far away, as far as I could go |
| Your time is running out |
| And I’m a long way from home |
| Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed |
| Holding the pain like you’re holding your breath |
| I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone |
| You’re right next to me |
| But you’re a long way from home |
| Hospital gowns never fit like they should |
| We yelled at the nurse, didn’t do any good |
| More morphine, the last words you moaned |
| At last I was sure |
| That you weren’t far away from home |
