Текст (слова) песни: Gordon Lightfoot - Long Way Back Home
From the railhead to the boatyard From the factory to the farm From the mines to the millhouse I`ve weathered the storm From the bar room to the bedpost I`ve wasted my days All I have is my drink And the time left to think While time slips away Just look at my face As you tell me goodbye You`ll see what I`m after By the look in my eye Just walk away And leave me alone It`s a long way back home
Now in case you should ask me What it is that I`ve done Well I say I`m a soldier Who once had a son But my son doesn`t know me That`s his right to choose Oh say can you see My best friend is me I`m a friend I could use
Just look at my face As you tell me goodbye You`ll see what I`m after By the look in my eye Just walk away And leave me alone It`s a long way back home
Now the pages have faded The story grows cold And the plot falls to ashes Like the ruins of old Those rats in my rafters They`re after my shoes And anything else They can find on the shelf I`ve said they could use
Just look at my face As you tell me goodbye You`ll see what I`m after By the look in my eye Just walk away And leave me alone It`s a long way back home It`s a long way back home
