Long Way Home (Lonely Rover)
(© by Ko-Do 2008)



Long way home, chilly winds
Scattered dreams of when you were younger
Clammy fingers light a cigarette
Empty belly rumbles hunger

Music fading as you're walking
Lots of time to think things over
Miles ahead, forgotten stars
Light the way of a lonely rover

Chorus
And the ever-growing darkness
And the things you left behind
Build your future ever smaller
Darkness, darkness – ease my mind

Rain starts falling, tired feet
Pass the last crossing at red light
Long way home – you finally made it
Far is the day and close the night

Find the key, unlock the door
Lay your head upon the pillow
And the lonely rover's tears
Silently sparkling wear the willow

Chorus
