Long Way Home, lyric by Don Henley

from the songs album I Can't Stand Still

Oh, it's cold and lonely here-
Here in this telephone booth
There's three sides to every story:
Yours and mine and the cold, hard truth
I think there's something missing 'round here
I don't know where it's gone
But it's a long way back home

The heat don't work
The toaster don't work
The car don't work
And i guess i know why
This house don't work and this dream don't
Work no more
And lover, neither do you and i
I fall asleep with the colors flying
Over sand and foam
But it's a long way back home

And it's a long way back home
And it's a long way back home
It's a long way back home
