Long is the way

Oh Lord I made it through
I´m gonna lay down my load
One more mile or two
Can´t escape from my fate, no
{Refrain:}
Long is the way, Long is the way
Long is the way, Long is the way
All clad in silk and gold
I have seen kings and their queens
With just one single golden thread
I could have woven dreams
I´ve dug for gold it´s true
And those kings granted loans
But I´m still empty-handed
Now I´m heading home
{au Refrain}
Set sail long ago
Pledged to fortune and fame
And the woman that I will face
Shoulders bent in shame
Almost hope that she broke
Solemn promise she made to me
Save her hand for a rich mann
In vain, in vain, for me
{au Refrain}
There´s a car coming this way
It´s the first in a line
With a sense of foreboding
I try to see inside
My eyes meet through the bridal veil
Those that I left behind
Both our hearts have stopped beating
Two promises have died
{au Refrain}
I´m gonna lay down my load
One more mile or two
Can´t escape from my fate, no
{Refrain:}
Long is the way, Long is the way
Long is the way, Long is the way
All clad in silk and gold
I have seen kings and their queens
With just one single golden thread
I could have woven dreams
I´ve dug for gold it´s true
And those kings granted loans
But I´m still empty-handed
Now I´m heading home
{au Refrain}
Set sail long ago
Pledged to fortune and fame
And the woman that I will face
Shoulders bent in shame
Almost hope that she broke
Solemn promise she made to me
Save her hand for a rich mann
In vain, in vain, for me

There´s a car coming this way
It´s the first in a line
With a sense of foreboding
I try to see inside
My eyes meet through the bridal veil
Those that I left behind
Both our hearts have stopped beating
Two promises have died
