lyrics

Dying's A Long Time Away

It's a long road to Harlan
it's a long road to wait
for that shady grove to take you home again
so rest here, my darling
the angels are coming
time to slip into something you'll wear at posterity's door
oh, and what's more
how is your faith?
how is your feeling inside about to be carried away
oh, and what's more
you've got to be brave
you've done all your fighting and dying's a long time away.

You came of age hoping
but you leave life the same
the world gets no better when the best hearts beat in the lame
generations shun wisdom
generations shun dreams
you had it all in your eye and you fought all the most ancient schemes
oh, and what's more
how is your faith?
when the darkness would question every pure intention you'd say
oh, and what's more
with this world unsaved
you've done all your fighting and dying's a long time away.

So bless you, my darling
where the country doves fall
where the rivers are ruined
and the thirsty are learning to crawl
as you go leaving
there's nothing to say
you've done all your fighting and dying's a long way.
oh, and what's more
how is your faith?
how is your feeling inside about to be carried away
oh, and what's more
you've got to be brave
you've done all your fighting and dying's a long time away.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
