Long Way From Home

-7   6  6  -6   -5  -5  6     -5  -5  5
Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
 -7  6   6  6 -6  -5  -5 6  -5 -5  5
God and medicine take no mercy on him
 -6  -5    -5   5    5    -7    -6  -6   6
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat

Enough is enough,

He's a long way from home

Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
I flew far away, as far as I could go
Your time is running out
And I'm a long way from home

Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
You're right next to me
But you're a long way from home

Hospital gowns never fit like they should
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
More morphine, the last words you moaned
At last I was sure
That you weren't far away from home
