Long Way Home Lyrics - The Salesman And The Shark - Sean Rowe

It's a long way home 

He couldn't see too well 

His left eye was shot out in the war 

And the other one was getting so tired of watching all of the time 

It's hard enough keep awake and alive on this cold day 

As far as he knows 

It's gonna take 4 days 

For the man to catch up with the mile 

And there's nothing that could ever be smiling quite like 

Death at the door 

He never thought that he would be poor like this again 

He had a day dream 

And a real need for a cigarette 

The birds are falling 

And it will be dark soon 

So he told his boots to carry on 

On a granite stone 

He didn't sleep too well 

He had her name at the end of his tongue 

He made love to his memory 

It stung him in the dark 

Morning came and it ate his heart 

And the sun shot holes in his mind 

Oh but the thunder of the river behind him
