Long Is the Way
Oh Lord I made it through
I'm gonna lay down my load
One more mile or two
Can't escape from my fate, no
Long is the way
Long is the way ...
All clad in silk and gold
I have seen kings and their queens
With just one single golden thread
I could have woven dreams
I've dug for gold it's true
And those kings granted loans
But I'm still empty-handed
Now I'm heading home
Long is the way
Long is the way ...
Set sail long ago
Pledged to fortune and fame
And the woman that I will face
Shoulders bent in shame
Almost hope that she broke
Solemn promise she made to me
Save her hand for a rich man
In vain, in vain, for me
Long is the way
Long is the way ...
There's a car coming this way
It's the first in a line
With a sense of foreboding
I try to see inside
My eyes meet through the bridal veil
Those that I left behind
Both our hearts have stopped beating
Two promises have died
Long is the way
Long is the way ...
I'm gonna lay down my load
One more mile or two
Can't escape from my fate, no
Long is the way
Long is the way ...
All clad in silk and gold
I have seen kings and their queens
With just one single golden thread
I could have woven dreams
I've dug for gold it's true
And those kings granted loans
But I'm still empty-handed
Now I'm heading home
Long is the way
Long is the way ...
Set sail long ago
Pledged to fortune and fame
And the woman that I will face
Shoulders bent in shame
Almost hope that she broke
Solemn promise she made to me
Save her hand for a rich man
In vain, in vain, for me
Long is the way
Long is the way ...
There's a car coming this way
It's the first in a line
With a sense of foreboding
I try to see inside
My eyes meet through the bridal veil
Those that I left behind
Both our hearts have stopped beating
Two promises have died
Long is the way
Long is the way ...
