It`s Such A Long Way Home — текст песни (Chris De Burgh)

Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel,
Trying to write a letter just to show you that I`m well,
But I`ve been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace,
And though there really is no reason, I`ve been looking for your face,

It`s such a long way home,
It`s such a long way home;
It`s such a long way;

Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms,
And then she whispered "Oh dear Lord don`t let him come to any harm"
And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own,
It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but "Please come home",

It`s such a long way home,
It`s such a long way home,
It`s such a long way;

Oh so many people have to travel away,
From the ones that they love and they need,
But I want to tell you that all your life,
You can depend on me;

Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune,
And it`s the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon,
And as the band begins to play it, with a shock I realize,
That it`s a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry,

It`s such a long way home,
It`s such a long way home,
It`s such a long way home
It`s such a long way, yes, such a long way home.
