Mark Seymour - Long Way to the Water lyrics

Leaving the old world tonight Into the darkness of the new Don't spook the horses Leaving the old world tonight Into the darkness of the new Don't spook the horses While the sun still shines They're tired, but they'll be getting through In the desert they can smell the water Their shadows ever growing tall Our laughter echoes down the valley tonight We'll make it home before the fall It's a long way to the water It's a long way there, but I don't mind But I'm leaving your lost world behind Alone together in the moonlight There's only one way we could go So lead me slowly on my broken pony She's got the faith to let me know It's a long way to the water It's a long way there, but I don't mind 'Cause we can't go back, and we can't stand still So we're leaving the world behind... behind... It's a long way to the water It's a long way there but I don't mind Oh we can't go back, and we can't stand still So we're leaving this world behind It's a long way to the water It's a long way there but I don't mind Oh we can't go back, and we can't stand still So we're leaving this lost world behind It's a long way to the water It's a long way It's a long way It's a long way
