Long Way From Home

This chill in the air tonight tells me that summer is coming to an end
 I know where you'll be when the weather turns cold out here
 You'll be out on the water drifting quiet
 On some unbridled sea
 On your own
 This fire has burned down to ashes
 that I sift through for memories of you
 I'm trying to recall the words to the songs you used to play
 These guitar strings are ringing clear tonight but
 the songs don't sound the same Now that I'm all grown
 And a long way from Home
 You just can't deny what runs through your blood
 It's hard to leave behind people you love
 You were both so young and I wonder did you find it hard like I do
 When you're shouldering the sky, carrying the days
 Doing what it takes to get you through
 The love I have surrounding me
 fills me with a warmth that burns inside
 I've got all that I need right here
 But the bent of my mind it holds me bound on the way I feel tonight
 All Alone
 And a long way from home
