Chris De Burgh - It's Such A Long Way Home lyrics
[Chris De Burgh - It's Such A Long Way Home lyrics]
Trying to write a letter just to show you that I'm well
But I've been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace
And though there really is no reason, I've been looking for your face
It's such a long way home
It's such a long way home
It's such a long way
Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms
And then she whispered "Oh dear Lord don't let him come to any harm"
And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own
It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but "Please come home"
It's such a long way home
It's such a long way home
It's such a long way
Oh so many people have to travel away
From the ones that they love and they need
But I want to tell you that all your life
You can depend on me
Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune
And it's the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon
And as the band begins to play it, with a shock I realize
That it's a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry
It's such a long way home
It's such a long way home
It's such a long way home
It's such a long way, yes, such a long way home
