And the stars
They are fading
The sun, it is falling
The stars, they are fading
The moon slips into the dark
Slips into the night
It's early in the morning
And the moon is hardly showing
There are creatures all around
See their shadows and hear their sounds
But they're taking me places
Places I don't know
It's getting kind of spooky
Should I stay or follow?
But they take me by the hand
And whisper in my ear
"There's no need to worry
First, let's make that clear
But we're gon' to take you places
Places you will know
They look kind of different
But not to your heart or to your soul
So just open up your senses
And let the light in
You've now reached these gates, so you may as well step in"
And the mystery unfolds
As she walks along the path
The trees talk to her
Finally at last
It's a long way home, it's a long way home
I'll be back at dawn, I'll be back at dawn
It's a long way home, it's a long way home
I'll be back at dawn, got to walk this road alone (Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone)
It's early in the morning
And the water due is falling
There are leaves on the ground
Blowing up and blowing down
As she gazes at the night sky
With tears in her eyes
She prays to the moon
"Please, help me walk this life"
So she takes two steps forward
And walks the windy road
She hears the voices in her head speak loud and bold, they say
"Don't drift into suspicious corners of your mind
Take heed of every beaming light that you can find
Such torturous desires
They will dig deep in your skin
Sucking onto any living or moving thing
So just take a breath of life
And let the goodness in
You see, it's all around you
You just have to let it in"
It's a long way home, it's a long way home
I'll be back at dawn, I will be back at dawn
It's a long way home, it's a long way home
I'll be back at dawn, got to walk this road alone (Walk this road alone, walk this road alone, walk this road alone, walk this road alone)
So the mystery concludes
As she stumbles to her knees
The moon shines down on her, tells her, "Love is all there is"
Is
Love is all, is all there is
Love is all (Love is all), is all (Love is all) there is (Love is all there is)
Love is all (Love is all, love is all, love is all there is)
Don't drift into suspicious corners of your mind (Corners of your mind, corners of your mind, corners of your mind, corners of your mind)
It's a long way home, it's a long way home
I'll be back at dawn, got to walk this road alone
