A Long Way From Home Lyrics

I forget what I'm meant to remember

Can't remember what I'm meant to forget

Reason has flown out the window

Along with concern and regret

As I walk the road that's less travelled

A pilgrim who's destined to roam

'Till journey's through and leads me to

That road we must all walk alone

I talk with the visions and voices that

Live in my head and they try

To remind me of people and places that

All fade in the blink of an eye

These days I live in the moment

The future's been left far behind

The past is now part of the present and

Directed by tricks of the mind

Alone in a room full of strangers and

An unfinished life lived in dreams

Trying to make a connection that

Gives them some meaning to me

Adrift on a wide, timeless ocean

My course and position unknown

My glass and my compass are broken and

I'm lost and a long way from home

I sit and I stare through the window and

I watch as the world passes by

Searching the faces for traces of

A clue to the who and the why

I've lost the key to the essence of me

A mother, a sister, a wife

The ties that bind have been broken and

Unraveled the threads of my life

The measure of time holds no meaning it's

Marked by the dark and daylight

Eternity's just round the corner and

It waits like a thief in the night

Then all that's left is forever

Embracing us all like a friend

My journey's come almost full circle as

All things must come to an end
