Oh Lord I made it through I´m gonna lay down my load One more mile or two Can´t escape from my fate, no Long is the way
Long is the way
All clad in silk and gold I have seen kings and their queens With just one single golden thread I could have woven dreams I´ve dug for gold it´s true And those kings granted loans But I´m still empty-handed Now I´m heading home
Long is the way Long is the way ...
Set sail long ago Pledged to fortune and fame And the woman that I will face Shoulders bent in shame
Almost hope that she broke Solemn promise she made to me Save her hand for a rich man In vain, in vain, for me
Long is the way Long is the way ...
There´s a car coming this way It´s the first in a line With a sense of foreboding I try to see inside My eyes meet through the bridal veil Those that I left behind Both our hearts have stopped beating Two promises have died
