lyrics

Waiting in the dark time ticks slowly
Stroking strings all along my neck
Whispers coming through the red veil
Those restless feelings now are back

I longed to hear your steps down the hall
Your first clap through silence sounding off the wall
Treading into limelight is all I ever do
Now I’m on my way, I’m on my long walk to you
My long walk to you

Standing back here nothing can be heard
Hoping for that first word to rise
I sing a prayer for my boiling blood
And for the sweat blinding my eyes

Here storytellers long for your faces in the crowd
For perhaps our last chance we could stand tall and proud
For the dreams in the eyes of old souls and new
Yes, I’m on my way, I’m on my long walk to you
My long walk to you

As I’m fading out of time it all just slips away
Tonight my pain and troubles are forbidden here to stay
As I’m walking up the steps to put on my own late night show
It takes just one look and you know
There’s only here there’s only now
There’s only here there’s only now…
Well, I made it through, it’s been a long walk to you
