The Long Way Home

from Anthology by Rawlins Cross

/

lyrics

Stolen moments and stolen glances
Bitter memories and true romances
You've paid your dues / You can take your chances
On the long way home tonight
Restless hearts and sneaky feelings
Poison darts and truthful dealings
And my how the past can be so revealing
It's a long way home all right
Life's an open book / The turning pages
Speak of ancient lies / The truth of ages
The open doors and the self built cages
Of the winners and the losers / The sinners and the sages
There's hungry sharks anticipating
Easy marks and ruthless trading
And who knows what might be out there waiting
On the long way home tonight
Deep despair or a sense of wonder
Riding high or going under
The human heart and it's hidden dangers
The givers and the takers / The lovers and the strangers
Read the news / Believe it or not
Sometimes an opinion may be all you've got
Love may be gone but it's not forgotten
On the long way home tonight
A ship of dreams on a sea of plastic
The fiery depths and the light fantastic
Another telling of an old old story
A question of freedom / A rumour of glory
