You spoke to me in whispers of a new world
Your vision like a seer's, your promises I heard
And as that day grew clearer, you claimed I'd transform
You'd greet me like an equal, we'd meet the rising Sun

And when that dawn came
After that night I prayed
I awoke to find you gone and nothing had changed

But I waited for you for so long
I waited for you in the rain and cold
You never showed, so I left all I owned and searched for you
So far away from home

And at the end of that desolate road
I reached the truth I had forever known
I finally knew that I was on my own, so far
So far away from home

And where were you when I was falling from this earth?
When the shadows came and drove me farther from this world
Was I fool to believe every word you said?
'Cause I thought we'd take this world by storm
I thought love would win

But I waited for you for so long
I waited for you in the rain and cold
You never showed, so I left all I owned and searched for you
So far away from home
And at the end of that desolate road
I reached the truth I had forever known
I finally knew that I was on my own, so far
So far away from home

And when that dawn came
After that night I prayed
I awoke to find you gone and nothing had changed

But I waited for you for so long
I waited for you in the rain and cold
You never showed, so I left all I owned and searched for you
So far away from home

And at the end of that desolate road
I reached the truth I had forever known
I finally knew that I was on my own, so far
So far away from home

But I waited for you for so long
I waited for you in the rain and cold
You never showed, so I left all I owned and searched for you
So far away from home

So far away from home
So far away from home
Was it all a lie?
Just a dream turned to delusion
(So far away from home)
Where it never was my time
(So far away from home)

Was it all a lie?
Just a dream turned to delusion
(So far away from home)
Where I never got it right
(So far away from home)
