Long Is The Way (Jehro)

Oh Lord I made it through I'm gonna lay down my load One more mile or two Can't escape from my fate, no Long is the way Long is the way Long is the way Long is the way All clad in silk and gold I have seen kings and their queens With just one single golden thread I could have woven dreams I've dug for gold it's true And those kings granted loans But I'm still empty-handed Now I'm heading home Long is the way Long is the way Long is the way Long is the way Set sail long ago Pledged to fortune and fame And the woman that I will face Shoulders bent in shame Almost hope that she broke Solemn promise she made to me Save her hand for a rich man In vain, in vain, for me Long is the way Long is the way Long is the way Long is the way There's a car coming this way It's the first in a line With a sense of foreboding I try to see inside My eyes meet through the bridal veil Eyes that I left behind Both our hearts have stopped beating Too promises have died Long is the way Long is the way Long is the way Long is the way
