Vanessa williams long way home lyrics

It's hard to say from where you stand 

 Exactly when it all began 

 But someplace there's a point you cross the line 

 You see the tears than stain your face 

 Mirrored in your make-up case 

 And know it's time to leave this place behind 

 It's a long way home 

 It's a long way home 

 It's a long way home 

 Trying to retrace your steps 

 All too easy to forget 

 Just which way to go 

 It's a long way home 

 

 Outside the sky is threatening 

 You slowly gather up your things 

 And wonder how you ever will explain 

 Walking out so self-assured 

 Yeah, you were gonna change the world 

 Walking back, a child in the rain 

 

 It's a long way home 

 It's a long way home 

 It's a long way home 

 How can you retrace the steps 

 You've been trying to forget 

 Still it's time to go 

 It's a long way home 

 And if you lose your way 

 Just keep your eye upon that endless broken line 

 

 Throw your bag beneath the bus 

 Sit among the curious 

 It happens to the best of us, you know 

 

 It's a long way home 

 It's a long way home 

 It's a long way home 

 Starting to retrace your steps 

 You learn to live with your regrets 

 Next stop heaven knows 

 It's a long way home 

 Such a long way 

 It's a long way home
