Lonesome and a Long Way from Home

Anthony Thistlethwaite, Mike Scott (SCO)

Every face I see is a stranger
Every step I take I see danger
I must have walked one thousand miles on my own as I roam
Lost and lonesome and a long long way from home

The man I used be has disappeared
I haven't heard him laugh for a hundred years
My courage has abandoned me, my spirit too has flown, and I'm alone
Lost and lonesome and a long long way from home

There is light at the end of the road I am told
Peace in the valley and a city of gold
I must be facing backwards because all I can see
Is a storm-black rain cloud falling on me

All my dreams have been broken
Oaths and prayer words have been spoken
There's nothing in this God almighty world will soften up my heart of stone
I'm lost and lonesome and a long long way from home
