Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The tide was laughing, I shade the sun
Run past the solstice where fairies hum
Slave for these masters, to evening's run
Won't you christen me?
[Verse 2]
Come on now, christen me
To the found guitar, the valley deep
Won't you christen me?
And stake your heart on mine
The places and the times
[Verse 3]
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
[Verse 4]
On trails of Eden, said trumpets blare
This yearling's burden a priestly aire
They force masters and Sodom's heir
Won't you carry me?
[Verse 5]
Come on now, carry me
To the fountains of the deepest deep
Won't you carry me?
And place your heart on mine
The places and the times
[Verse 6]
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
[Verse 7]
Decree your sirens to a flea in touch
I hoped my knowledge then you might have come
They force master who is the dome
[Verse 8]
Won't you bury me?
Come on now, bury me
And stake your heart on mine
To the places and the times
[Verse 9]
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
It's a long way, it's a long way to get back home
