I've been running for a thousand years
I don't know how far we've come
Across a vast expense of universe
To leave behind a dying sun

The tracks of time stretch through eternity
Where did we come off the rails?
You sent me postcards from the kitchen sink
And I read them every day

It's a long way home
Such a long way home
It's a long way home
Won't you keep the fire the fire burning
When I'm gone
Won't you keep the fire burning
Till I gеt home

Why, the sky looks beautiful tonight
Flamingo pink and powdеr blue
Evoking deep and distant memories
Always coming back to you

It's a long way home
Such a long way home
It's a long way home
Won't you keep the fire the fire burning
When I'm gone
Won't you keep the fire burning
Till I get home
