It's been a long way south To the endlessly stretching desert I've got dust in my mouth And a sting in my chest Now I've got no use For what I had seemed to've needed I've got sand in my shoes And an endless silence In my heart My heart And it's a long way home And I'll never really get there For the one coming back Isn't me anymore Not the same as before It's someone Who has learned to fall And get up after all [repeats]
