Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope God and medicine take no mercy on him Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat Enough is enough, he´s a long way from home
Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt I flew far away, as far as I could go Your time is running out And I´m a long way from home
Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed Holding the pain like you´re holding your breath I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone You´re right next to me But you´re a long way from home
Hospital gowns never fit like they should We yelled at the nurse, didn´t do any good More morphine, the last words you moaned At last I was sure That you weren´t far away from home
