It's a long way from Earth to Home

Oh, it's a long way, a long way down Through drifting haze and hollowed bounds A king once told me, in a dream so wild You're still a pilgrim, you're still a child Oh, it's a long walk from earth to home And if I reach that spinning blue Will it know me? Will I know it too Oh, it's a long way, a long way down Through mirrored skies and empty sound Oh, it's a long walk from earth to home Oh, it's a long walk from earth to home And if I reach that spinning blue Echoes call from distant spheres A voice I knew in younger years Memories stretch, but time won't bend Will I reach home, or just descend Oh, it's a long walk, a long walk from earth to home
