Long Way

I greet you in the darkness
Of your confusion
And the flames of my own
Clarity
Look up into the winter sky
Say a silent prayer for our tomorrows
And for the rest of your life

And I don?t know I?m just hushed by this feeling
And I want to know where love lies,
Will you show it to me one more time before you go?

And it?s a long way down a dusty road to safety
A long way to find our own forever
And I learned that here tonight on my front walk
Cold concrete beside the childhood handprint
I made when you were already grown

And I don?t know
I just keep thinking maybe you will
find me standing there in your dreams
All I know is that I left you in the blackness holding a piece of me

And it?s a long way down a dusty road to safety
A long way to find our own forever
And I learned that here tonight on my front walk
Cold concrete beside the childhood handprint
I made when you were already grown

And it?s a long way, you go a long way
But I fear that soon you will leave this place again
Won?t be your first time, won?t be first time
But baby, please remember that it?s mine

I hope you find your dream
Hope you catch up to here
Hold her tightly if I am nowhere near to see
I pray that someday soon she will
Wash over me again and bring you back
To where we started

And it?s a long way down a dusty road to safety
A long way to find our own forever
And I learned that here tonight on my front walk
Cold concrete beside the childhood handprint
I made when you were already grown

Long way forever, long way go
Long way forever, and I fear you?ll
I fear you?ll, I fear you?ll
I fear you?ll go
