Lyrics
The Longest Journey
Words & Music by Tim Magnus
I'm not used to love, I'm not used to life,
I never planned just to be a wife.
But the sails are set and the course is clear,
The sun is warm I guess I have no fear.
And if the longest journey starts with one step, then I'm running back to you.
If the longest journey starts with one step, then I'm running back to you,
I think you know what I'll do.
I didn't get to choose but I made a choice,
Deep inside I can hear a voice.
It's like an angels cry through the silent woods,
Wash away these sins,
Leave what is good.
So I'll stand hear waiting in the pouring rain for your love to wash me clean,
Yes I'll stand hear waiting, in the pouring rain for your love to wash me clean,
I hope you know what I mean.
One life begins as another fades,
Bittersweet are these precious days.
Cradle me in your arms like a babe,
Cradle me when I'm in the grave.
And if the longest journey starts with one step, then I'm running back to you.
If the longest journey starts with one step, then I'm running back to you,
I think you know what I'll do.
