Long Is The Way Lyrics

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,Jehro - Long Is The Way - http://motolyrics.com/jehro/long-is-the-way-lyrics.html
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,
Those that I left behind,
Both our hearts have stopped beating,
Two promises have died,

Long is the way,
Long is the way,
Long is the way,
Long is the way
