Somewhere in the distant past
I saw a light shine in your soul
It flickered on but now it's off again
I've memorized the day when you were skipping stones across the sea
As you carried me on your back
Oh, it's a lonely road.
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
Oh, it's a lonely road.
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
We can't do this any other way.
Tell me what you dream about when no ones there to catch your smile
Is it something warm, something delicate?
Your working hands feel quite like stone
But still seem soft and sensitive.
When compared to your heart.
Oh, it's a lonely road.
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
Oh, it's a lonely road.
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
We can't do this any other way, oh.
There is nowhere left to run away.
Father there is no one left on this Earth to impress.
So please come home, come back home.
20 years have passed since
I heard your sing that life is good
Now I'm losing hope so please come back home.
Oh, it's a lonely road.
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
Oh, it's a lonely road.
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
We can't do this any other way.
We can't do this any other way.
There is nowhere left to run away.
