"The Road Was Long" lyrics

The road was long, then it all went by
The songs we sing, the tears we cry
Linger on like dust under the sun
Collecting in our sky
Until kingdom come
Oh, don't cry for me
Life's only just begun
And now I've got to run
I'm getting near
I'm getting near

The road was long, then it all went by
Every gripping low and fleeting high
Lingers on like echoes in the wind
Nothing truly dies
Only transcends
Saying goodbye is only an alibi

So many prayers asking for fortune
I wish that I had spent them all on love
And begged for an eternity beside you
To wash over my soul like a flood

I'm gonna be there when it's all over
And you need a new place to belong
When your world is spilling over
And you're tired of getting it wrong
I feel it too
I'll be waiting there for you

I'm getting near
I'm getting near

Everything you wanted
Everything you needed
Everything you wanted
Everything you needed
Everything you wanted
Everything you needed
Everything you wanted
Everything you needed
