The Long Way Home

from Living River by Rawlins Cross

/

lyrics

Stolen moments, 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 alright

Life's an open book
The turning pages speak of ancient lies, the truth of ages
The open doors and 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 its 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 and rumour of glory

(Geoff Panting)
