The Lumineers - Long Way from Home lyrics
[The Lumineers - Long Way from Home lyrics]
God and medicine take no mercy on him
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
Enough is enough, he's a long way from home
Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
Who ran for the hills from
The hand you were dealt
I flew far away, as far as I could go
Your time is running out
And I'm a long way from home
Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
Holding the pain like you're
Holding your breath
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
You're right next to me
But, you're a long way from home
Hospital gowns never fit like they should
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
"More morphine", the last words you moaned
At last I was sure
That you weren't far away from home
