The Guardian - Long Way Home lyrics

I was five years old When they came and took my daddy away Momma said, "He'll be back home a year from today I know you're young but I hope you understand These are the kind of things that happen to a man." ... oooooh... I see her talkin' but I can't hear nothing; Sweet salvation cover me Refrain: Take me where I long to be Pick up and carry me; Oh, I need your love It's such a long way home Even though I fall sometimes Nothing here can change my mind Lord, I need your love It's such a long way home Daddy cried "Boy you'd better come home right now Momma's gone Sickness took her down I know you're young But I hope you understand These are the kind of things that happen to a man." ... ooooh... I see him talkin' but I don't hear nothin'; Lookin' round but I can't see I touch fear but I feel nothin'; Sweet salvation cover me (Refrain) All this pain locked up inside of me On my knees I prayed you'd set me free "I know you hurt But I really do understand; I'm the one who held your pain when I became a man." Speak to me so I hear something Turn my eyes so I can see You touch fear and I feel something Sweet salvation cover me (Refrain)
