long way to the water

leaving the old world tonight

into the darkness of the new

don't spook the horses

while the sun still shines

they're tired

but they'll be getting through

in the desert they can smell the water

their shadows ever growing tall

our laughter echoes down the valley tonight

we'll make it home before the fall

it's a long way to the water

it's a long way there

but i don't mind

but i'm leaving your lost world behind

alone together in the moonlight

there's only one way we could go

so lead me slowly on my broken pony

she's got the faith to let me know

it's a long way to the water

it's a long way there

but i don't mind

'cos we can't go back

and we can't stand still

so we're leaving the world behind. behind. it's a long way to the water

it's a long way there but i don't mind

oh we can't go back

and we can't stand still

so we're leaving this world behind

it's a long way to the water

it's a long way there but i don't mind

oh we can't go back

and we can't stand still

so we're leaving this lost world behind

it's a long way to the water

it's a long way

it's a long way

it's a long way
