Long Way From Home - The Lumineers
Held on to hope like a noose like a rope
God and medicine take no mercy on him
Poisoned his blood and burned out his throat
Enough is enough he's a long way from home
Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
I flew far away as far as I could go
Your time is running out
And I'm a long way from home
Laid up in bed you were laid up in bed
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath
I prayed you could sleep sleep like a stone
You're right next to me
But you're a long way from home
Hospital gowns never fit like they should
We yelled at the nurse didn't do any good
More morphine the last words you moaned
At last I was sure
That you weren't far away from home
