Eden's Bridge Prodigal Lyrics

Sullen sleep is calling And I'm tired and so alone I never thought I'd say this But I long to see my home I've lost so many years There's nothing left but tears As I look back, if only I had known

I walked away that summer with the world stretched out before I had so much already Yet I wanted so much more But in this world of thieves I was so naive I walked into their arms and lost it all

Now I long for home And I long for home How I long for home And I'm going home

I had spread my money widely And my fortune sweetly burned And though my friends had told me "Once you've left, you can't return" I hope that I can find The peace that once was mine I never thought it mattered Now I've learned
Now I long for home And I long for home How I long for home And I'm going home

How many miles behind me? How many left to go? The last humiliation Rests upon the shame I've known Will they let me stay? Or will they turn me away? Can I return and call this place my own?

Now I long for home And I long for home How I long for home And I'm going home
