Long Way From Home

The stars in the southern skies dance in her eyes so sincereThe watery moon starts to rise and to croon to the spheresThe sandy wind kisses your cheeks and she wishes you wellYou're wondering when you might be here again under her spellYour penchant for fun seems to roll off the tongue like a dreamThe night is still young there's still time for fun before you leaveUnder the palm trees you're weak at the knees from the way she stares at youThose exotic eyes completely mesmerise youYou knew all along that as soon as you'd gone there'd be tearsYour eyes are a blur as the memory of her perseveresOn and on in your mind you're repeating the line that she whispered in your earsI can't let you go without a little souvenirNow that you're goneYou feel so aloneYou're empty handed and you're stranded such a long long way from homeA long way from home you continue to roam and exploreIf things go to plan you'll see many a land from Brazil to EcuadorWhen she asks "do you miss me" your eyes go all mistyYour heart is tied in knotsBut it'll unravel the further you travel and all we be forgotNow that you're goneYou feel so aloneYou're empty handed and you're stranded such a long long way from home
