[Verse 1]
City lights shine on the harbour
Night has fallen down
Through the darkness and the shadow
I will still go on
[Chorus 1]
Long, long journey
Through the darkness
Long, long way to go
But what are miles
Across the ocean
To the heart that's coming home?
[Verse 2]
Where the road runs through the valley
Where the river flows
I will follow every highway
To the place I know
[Chorus 1]
Long, long journey
Through the darkness
Long, long way to go
But what are miles
Across the ocean
To the heart that's coming home?
[Chorus 2]
Long, long journey
Out of nowhere
Long, long way to go
But what are sighs
And what is sadness
To the heart that's coming home?
[Interlude]
[Chorus 1]
Long, long journey
Through the darkness
Long, long way to go
But what are miles
Across the ocean
To the heart that's coming home?
[Chorus 2]
Long, long journey
Out of nowhere
Long, long way to go
But what are sighs
And what is sadness
To the heart that's coming home?

Lyricist Roma Ryan wrote in the album’s promotional box:
Faraway places. Oceans. Other lands.
Yet all the heart wants is to be home. This is a song about that journey home, no matter how far that journey is. For what are miles across the ocean to the heart that’s coming home?
