The Long Way Home Lyrics

Under the moonlit sky

Where leaves take their final flight

He is there, counting the times

He waited in the endless night

For someone who could see

His pure heart hiding somewhere

Behind his clothes, old and dirty

But nobody was ever there

Just one more lonely heart under the stars

One more cry that echoes so far

They're wondering if they'll see the light

And if they'll take the long way home tonight

A cold and vicious breeze

The bitterness falls to her knees

Disturbing whispers saying"Please

I wanna lay you down with ease"

Those words she cannot hear

Over the grunts that fill her ears

Soon they will quickly disappear

Leaving a capital souvenir

Just one more lonely heart under the stars

One more cry that echoes so far

They're wondering if they'll see the light

And if they'll take the long way home tonight

They wait for one more day to end

So they can dry their shameful tears

Believing that tomorrow won't be the same

But who is there to blame

When the dusk is clearing

Just one more lonely heart under the stars

One more cry that echoes so far

They're wondering if they'll see the light

And if they'll take the long way home tonight
