Far Journey from My Home

Hollow echo’s of war words on the ruby lips of long forgotten lovers
Like falling angels linger of the fringes of the shadows of my mind
Finally thinking how the traffic on the rainy street just sounds like bacon frying
I come a far journey from my home

Oh regrets attack my mind dealing justice like some trucking drunken vigilante
They scorch my soul to ashes, like a lump of granite hangin in my throat
If there weren’t only miles between us, I’d call a cab and be by your side by morning
But its years that's come between us and time has a distance all its own
I come a far journey from my home

Chorus:
I come a far journey from my home to this place I lay all alone
Staring at the ceiling, sifting through the chances I’ve blown
I come a far journey from my home

I stare into my mind at strange designs cast upon my closed eyelids
And I think of you and wonder if you thought of me last Thursday when it rained
Perhaps if I had more cognac, I’d conjure up the courage girl to call you
But my bottle has gone empty, and it’s late and this old place ain’t got no phone
I come a far journey from my home

Chorus:
I come a far journey from my home to this place I lay all alone
Staring at the ceiling, sifting through the chances I’ve blown
I come a far journey from my home
I come a far journey from my home
