A Road Too Long歌词

作词 : Allan Taylor
作曲 : Allan Taylor
It was a long time coming but plain to see
When I held his shaking hand
He couldn't look at me
He said something about losing
Losing the will to go on
He looked off into the distance
I knew his mind had gone

He lights a candle
It has a soft kind of glow
He's scared of the dark but he won't let nobody know
Cos when the midnight demons are creeping through the night
He knows they'll get to him when he's run out of fight

Was it trying to get it right that made it wrong
Or was it just a road that went on way too long
Too long
Too long
Too long

He searches for words, but the words disappear
He talks so quietly, you move closer to hear
He's looking for answers but you don't know what to say
Just help him through the night into another day

He's falling over the edge of the abyss
Holding on and reaching out
And hoping he won't miss
I say
Grab a hold of something
Something beautiful and true
Someday the world is going to smile for you

Was it trying to get it right that made it wrong
Or was it just a road that went on way too long
Too long
Too long
Too long
