Lyrics

LONG TIME ROAD

SEE THE HOUSE UPON THE HILL WHERE THE PAST IS LYING STILL.
IN THE SHADOWS OF THEIR GRAVE LIE THE THOUGHTS WE MEANT TO SAVE.
LONG TIME, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME ROAD
PASSED ON THROUGH THE DAWN.

FAR AWAY BUT YET SO NEAR THE FUTURE LIES IN COMING YEARS.
AFRAID OF WHAT OUR FATES MAY HOLD ONLY TIME WILL TELL A SOUL.
LONG TIME, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME ROAD.
PASSED ON THROUGH THE DAWN.
THROUGH THE DAWN - THROUGH THE DAWN.

IF I KNEW THE STORY I COULD LEAD THE WAY
FROM THE ISLAND'S SHORE WE SHOULD FLOAT AWAY.

SEEMS SO CRUEL FOR LIFE TO END.
SO MANY TIMES WE MUST PRETEND
TO LIVE OUR LIVES WITHOUT A TEAR,
FULFILL OUR DREAMS WITH YET A FEAR.
LONG TIME, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME ROAD
PASSED ON THROUGH THE DAWN.
LONG TIME, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME ROAD.
AND I MUST BE TRAVELIN' ON - YOU KNOW I'VE GOT TO TRAVEL ON.
GIRL, I MUST BE TRAVELIN, ON TONIGHT...TONIGHT...TONIGHT

CAN YOU FEEL IT? DO YOU REALLY NEED IT?
CAN YOU FEEL IT? DO YOU REALLY NEED IT?
I'VE GOT TO TRAVEL ON, TRAVEL ON.
I'VE GOT TO TRAVEL ON, TRAVEL ON.
I'VE GOT TO TRAVEL ON, TRAVEL ON.
I'VE GOT TO TRAVEL ON, TRAVEL ON.
