Long Away Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You might believe in heaven
I would not care to say
For every star in heaven
There's a sad soul here today
[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up in the morning with a good face
Stare at the moon all day
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase
Does anyone care anyway
For all the prayers in heaven
So much of life's this way
[Chorus]
Did we leave our way behind us
Such a long, long way behind us
Who knows when
Now who knows where
Where the light of day will find us?
Look for the day
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Take heart, my friend, we love you
Though it seems like you're alone
A million lights above you
Smile down upon your home
[Pre-Chorus]
Hurry, put your troubles in a suitcase
Come let the new child play
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase
I'm leaving here, I'm long away
For all the stars in heaven
I would not live, I could not live this way
[Chorus]
Did we leave our way behind us?
Such a long, long way behind us
Leave it for some hopeless lane
[Outro]
(Such a long, long way
Such a long, long way
Such a long, long way)
Such a long, long away
I'm looking for, looking for that day
