| A road too long
It was a long time coming but plain to see
When I held his shaking hand in mine
He couldn't look at me
He said something about losing,
Losing the will to go on
He looked off into the distance and I knew
his mind had gone
He lights a candle,
it has a soft kind of glow
He's scared of the dark
but he won't let nobody know
When the midnight demons
are creeping through the night
He knows they'll get to him
when he's run out of fight
chorus:
Was it trying to get it right that made it wrong
Or was it just a road that went on way too long
He searches for words,
but the words disappear
He talks so quietly, you move closer to hear
He's looking for answers
but you don't know what to say
Just help him through the night
into another day
He's falling over the edge of the abyss
Holding on and reaching out
hoping he won't miss
I say "Grab a hold of something,
something beautiful and true
Someday the world
is going to smile for you"

the Moon', Stockfisch Records (website) |
