(composed: elvis costello/paddy moloney)
If on every ocean the ship is a throne
And for each mast cut down another sapling is grown
Then i could believe that i’m bound to find
A better life than i left behind

But as you ascend the ladder
Look out below where you tread
For the colors bled as they overflowed
Red, white and blue
Green, white and gold

So i had to leave from my country of birth
As for each child grown tall
Another lies in the earth
And for every rail we laid in the loam
There’s a thousand miles of the long journey home

But as you ascend the ladder
Look out below where you tread
For the colors bled as they overflowed
Red, white and blue
Green, white and gold

Near the dawn she crept in
Sittin’ on the edge of a bed made up to look like it’d been slept in
And it was dark where I was lying
But I could see her face
It looked like she’d been crying

And it’s a Long, Long, Journey Home

I drink my coffee by the door
Watch an old man on the street I think i’ve seen him before
Because he’s out there every week
Goin’ through my trash
He knows me but we never speak

It’s a Long, Long Journey Home
It’s a Long, Long Time to feel Alone

Forgiveness and favor earned
Traveling on lessons learned
We are all alone in this together
as far as i’m concerned…

It’s a Long, Long Journey Home
It’s a Long, Long time to feel alone

I have been rejected
By the very one I carefully selected
so I know what you mean
when you say you stumble on the way to the guillotine

It’s a Long, Long Journey Home
It’s a Long, Long time to feel alone
It’s a Long, Long, Long…
Journey Home
