In the early 80's when i washed up on the shore i could breathe a little more then i would realise You can call me crazy, you can call me what you will You could take the bitter pill, if it helps you sleep at night Its a long long way my crooked friend Such a long long way back home..........home.........hooooome So close, yet we've come so far So close, still we've got so far I can safely say we feel as safe as we like Lest we forget those who die, I never will Such a perfect Island, tucked away in the sea The real land of the free, do you hear me Its a long way home my crooked friend But i do appreciate the time we spent Its a long long way back home Such a long long way back home..........home.........hooooome So close, yet we've come so far So close, still we've got so far So close, yet we've come so far So close, still we've got so far So close, yet we've come so far So close, still we've got so far A long way home woooo ooooh
