Long Way From Home Lyrics - Cleopatra - The Lumineers

Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope 

God and medicine take no mercy on him 

Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat 

Enough is enough, he's a long way from home 

Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool 

Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt 

I flew far away, as far as I could go 

Your time is running out 

And I'm a long way from home 

Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed 

Holding the pain like you're holding your breath 

I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone 

You're right next to me 

But you're a long way from home

Hospital gowns never fit like they should 

We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good 

More morphine, the last words you moaned 

At last I was sure 

That you weren't far away from home
