Lyrics
A Long Way From Home
Words and Music by Richard A. Cosey
There's something in her eyes this morning
I don't believe I've seen before
They seem to be saying I don't know
As they're glancing towards the door.
Those lines of pain that cross her brow, that linger on and on
She knows it won't be long
Chourus:
She left me on a Sunday
In the middle of the afternoon
You know I never really thought she'd leave me
I never really thought she'd go
Now the afternoon is turning to evening
And I'm lying in my bed alone
This house is just the way she left it ...
But it's a long long way
A long long way
A long long way
From home
Bridge:
I will remember you, the way you smiled and tied my shoes
Reminding me to always do, the things that you would want me to
Now these chipped and faded dishes
These pictures hanging on the wall
Memories of a family
You pulled us through it all
If I could have one small wish, I'd wish to see you again
And give a missed goodbye to this boys best friend
Chourus/End
