A Long Walk Lyrics

Waiting in the dark time ticks slowly

Stroking strings all along my neck

Whispers coming through the red veil

Those restless feelings now are back

I longed to hear your steps down the hall

Your first clap through silence sounding off the wall

Treading into limelight is all I ever do

Now I'm on my way, I'm on my long walk to you

My long walk to you

Standing back here nothing can be heard

Hoping for that first word to rise

I sing a prayer for my boiling blood

And for the sweat blinding my eyes

Here storytellers long for your faces in the crowd

For perhaps our last chance we could stand tall and proud

For the dreams in the eyes of old souls and new

Yes, I'm on my way, I'm on my long walk to you

My long walk to you

As I'm fading out of time it all just slips away

Tonight my pain and troubles are forbidden here to stay

As I'm walking up the steps to put on my own late night show

It takes just one look and you know

There's only here there's only now

There's only here there's only now…

Well, I made it through, it's been a long walk to you
