Vägen är lång (The Road Is long) Songtext

Vägen Är Lång (The Road Is Long)

Will I come or will I stay, I guess time will show
Sometimes I lose my temper but I never lose my soul
For a longer time now than ever before
I have been away from my safety zone
My beloved friend you′re so dear to me
High up on the hill where the air is cold and free
Something has changed but I can't put a finger on what
So different but still so unchanged

One thing can be that all my friends have moved
To other places, other towns while I′m still in my room
Every single one of them packed their things and disappeared
While I sat out on the porch and wished they wouldn't leave me here
But I figured this is the way it is supposed to be
The road is long and things are washing over me
Time passes so quickly, do I really want all this now
The weather is changing just like you and I

The road is long
Vägen är lång


I remember when you lived on Taps Alley number 12
How we walked up the stone stairs in the stairwell
We hadn't seen each other in a pretty long time
And I felt that the older we get the less often we′ll come around
One year has passed and I have the things I do
Lose my will in my texts and lose my will in the truth
I′ve been out on the roads in a big white van
I've been blowing things up with a rock′n'roll band

The road is long
Vägen är lång

I remember when we stood outside entrance number 12
And one of the apartments in staircase 12
Had one window open where music poured out
I started laughing and you asked me what I laughed about
I think a year has passed and I′ve devoted my life to the road
I have learned to know new faces, new jokes and talks
In and out, back and forth, a bit rock'n′roll
Confuses my already confused head and I feel so young and so old

The road is long
Vägen är lång


Vägen är lång och jag bara åker med
Det går så fort hit och dit och jag försöker hinna med
Att förstå vad jag gör men det är inte alltid så lätt
På samma gång är jag glad, ledsen, hungrig och mätt
Vägen är lång genom allt och ingenting
Men jag har alltid gillat vägen och att bara åka omkring
Allt ser likadant ut samtidigt som allt är nytt
Fjäll, skog och vatten, en fågel på flykt

The road is long
Vägen är lång

Life is a funny thing isn't it
It is what it is and we only have this
I think I might be bound to a life on the road
That's what you said, long is the road

The road is long
Vägen är lång
