come a long way

simple minds

swing low

could be the last call for two of us

i said swing high

reach out and touch the sky

but don't cry yet

it's not time yet

see this race is wrong

come see

this race is right

see millions of years pass with no end in sight

sleep tight

you couldn't count the cost through the night

'cause it's not right

it never was right

come a long

long

come a long

long way

come a long

come a long

long way

come a long

come a long

long way

come a long

come a long

long way

up on may day

and there is a carnival on my street tonight

i hear them dancing

i hear them dancing

but on a clear day

if this thing don't move here

then this thing just don't have no heartbeat

get on the street

i say

sweet hours to live

i got no time to kill

i said hold back those arms raised hold back the bill

sleep tight

you couldn't count the cost through the night

'cause it's not right

it never was right

come a long

come a long

long way

swing low

could be the last call for two of us

i said swing high

reach out and touch the sky

but don't cry yet

it's not time yet

come a long
