Long Way From Home Lyrics - The Lumineers

1 Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope

2 God and medicine take no mercy on him

3 Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat

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

5 Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool

6 Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt

7 I flew far away, as far as I could go

8 Your time is running out

9 And I'm a long way from home

10 Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed

11 Holding the pain like you're holding your breath

12 I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone

13 You're right next to me

14 But you're a long way from home

15 Hospital gowns never fit like they should

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

17 More morphine, the last words you moaned

18 At last I was sure

19 That you weren't far away from home
