A Long Way Home

I held the earth in my hand
And watched it fall on your memory
Life is short.  Love goes on
Did you know what you meant to me?

CHORUS:

And it's a long way home
It's a long way home
And it's a long way home
It's a long, long way

We read the psalms and sang the songs
That give us hope for the coming day
In peaceful dreams, silent fears
Queen Anne's Lace and the new mown hay

REPEAT CHORUS:

I felt the sun upon my face
And traced the names of the family
The ones I've known.  Those long gone
Soon enough in their company

REPEAT CHORUS:
