A Long Way Home Lyrics by Gil Hockman

All The Things

2013

He says: Don’t believe in the choruses
‘cos they’re only words
Before the second verse
He says: Don’t believe in their promises
Because all their promises
Are broken messages
He sits on the wall and eats his sandwiches
And all that matters is
That he didn’t pay for his
Because it’s a long way home
When you’re walking all alone
And the paving stones of gold
Are on the other side of the road
The clocks on the wall speak to a common sense
Of desperate measures spent
On hidden Rands and Cents
The locks on the door speak to the elements
Of wounded secrets kept
And violent entrances
He stands at the gates of eden, so he says
The only recompense
For ancient grievances
But it’s a long way home
When you’re walking all alone
And the paving stones of gold
Are on the other side of the road
