[Verse 1]
How far is it to the next town
From this town where hopes end?
How far is it to the next town
From far out at rope's end?
How far, how far 'til it's all behind me?
To brand new highways that won't remind me?
How long, how long 'til the longing dwindles
And hope awakens and life rekindles?
[Verse 2]
How far is it to the next town?
A long way! A long way!
How can I get to the next town
And not take the wrong way?
How far without getting lost without her?
Her warmth around me, my arms about her?
How long, how long will the road keep winding?
The dark too dark and the pain too blinding?
[Outro]
How far is it to the next town?
Too far!
