- Long, Long Way From Home Lyrics / with translationsIt was a Monday, a day like any other day
I left a small town for the apple in decay
It was my destiny, it's what we needed to do
They were telling me, I'm telling you
I was inside looking outside, the millions of faces
But still I'm alone, waiting, hours of waiting
Paying a penance, I was longing for home
I'm looking out for the two of us, I hope we'll be here
When they're through with us
I was inside looking outside, oh the millions of faces
But still I'm alone, waiting, hours of waiting
I could feel the tension, I was longing for home
I'm looking out for the two of us And I hope we'll be here
When they're through with us, I'm a long way from home
Monday, sad, sad Monday, she's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home
Sad, sad Monday, she's waiting for me
But I'm a long long way from home
Sad, sad Monday, ah she's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home
I left a small town for the apple in decay
It was my destiny, it's what we needed to do
They were telling me, I'm telling you
I was inside looking outside, the millions of faces
But still I'm alone, waiting, hours of waiting
Paying a penance, I was longing for home
I'm looking out for the two of us, I hope we'll be here
When they're through with us
I was inside looking outside, oh the millions of faces
I could feel the tension, I was longing for home
I'm looking out for the two of us And I hope we'll be here
When they're through with us, I'm a long way from home
Monday, sad, sad Monday, she's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home
Sad, sad Monday, she's waiting for me
But I'm a long long way from home
Sad, sad Monday, ah she's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home
