Big Country - The Long Road lyrics

I was a child. I thought time was so long I longed for the days when my growing was done Then take up my place in the world full of heroes Always be true to the hearts that I’d won It’s a long lonely road that we travel It’s a long lonely road that we bear And I may walk with you, for I know what is true It’s a long lonely road that we share It’s a long lonely road that we share When I finished school I thought life would begin My fortune be found and the money roll in I would live in the sunlight today and forever Be sure of the glory tomorrow would bring It’s a long lonely road that we travel It’s a long lonely road that we bear And I may walk with you, for I know what is true It’s a long lonely road that we share It’s a long lonely road that we share It’s a long lonely road that we travel It’s a long lonely road that we bear And I may walk with you, for I know what is true It’s a long lonely road that we share It’s a long lonely road that we share And I wait And I wait By the sign of your footsteps And I wait And I wait By the sound of your voice Now that my dreams are no longer my own All that you say I still travel alone I would trade my whole life for an hour in your arms The telephone rings and there’s nobody home It’s a long lonely road that we travel It’s a long lonely road that we bear And I may walk with you, for I know what is true It’s a long lonely road that we share It’s a long lonely road that we share It’s a long lonely road that we travel It’s a long lonely road that we bear And I may walk with you, for I know what is true It’s a long lonely road that we share It’s a long lonely road that we share
