David Francey Long Way Home Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can hear the rain beating on the window pane
And the wind keeps asking "when will I see you again?"
It's another memory of you
Of another night alone
It's another night in the year of the long way home

[Verse 2]
Wipers steady as a heartbeat
Thunder like a passing train
And the headlights picking out weeping willow
Crying on the shoulder again
It's another night on the back road
Stretched tight like skin on bone
It's another mile in the year of the long way home

[Chorus]
And it's a long way, baby
It's a long way, I know
It's a rough road to travel In the year of the long way home

[Verse 3]
When my hands can finally touch you
When you're in my arms to hold
When we're laying together laughing again
When the stories have all been told
When I reach across the table
Hold your hand inside my own
I can see an end to the year of the long way home

[Chorus]
And it's a long way, baby
It's a long way, I know
It's a rough road to travel
In the year of the long way home

[Chorus]
And it's a long way, baby
It's a long way, I know
But I can see an end to the year of the long way home
