It's Such A Long Way Home (Crusader 1979)

Текст песни Chris de Burgh - It's Such A Long Way Home (Crusader 1979)

Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel
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
