"Your Long Journey" lyrics

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Lyrics

"Your Long Journey"

God's given us years of happiness here
Now we must part
And as the angels come and call for you
The pains of grief tug at my heart

Oh, my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

Oh, the days will be empty
The nights so long without you, my love
And when God calls for you, I'm left alone
But we will meet in Heaven above

Oh, my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come, we will walk hand in hand
As one in Heaven in the family of God

Oh, my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
