Long Way From Home Songtext
von The Lumineers

I thank you so much for that
We saved a few more, so stick around

If only for my tongue, if only for my mouth
Find my words to speak, dribble out four words

And it waited in his skin, buried deep within
It buried Lillian, and now it waits, waits for him

And the day has arrived, a civil war inside
The cells, they multiplied
Da-di-da, da-di-da


Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
God and medicine take no mercy on him
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
Enough is enough, he′s a long way from home

Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
I flew far away, as far as I could go
Your time is running out, and I'm a long way from home

Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
Holding the pain like you′re holding your breath
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
You're right next to me, but you're a long way from home

Hospital gowns never fit like they should
We yelled at the nurse, didn′t do any good
More morphine, the last words you moaned
At last, I was sure that you weren′t far away from home
