Long Long Road
by David Francey
Red sun comes rising out of the sea
On the long long road
And the bones of the ocean, this land under me
On the long long road
Up the St. Lawrence to the queen of the Lakes
On the long long road
And the waves of the water, they endlessly break
On the long long road
( Chorus
On the long long road
On the long long road
The waves on the water, they endlessly break
On the long long road )
The prairies a straight line, beginning and end
On the long long road
And the mile posts marking the time that we spend
On the long long road
West to the mountains, that greyness of stone
On the long long road
And the setting sun sinking, tired to the bone
On the long long road
( Chorus
On the long long road
On the long long road
And the mile posts marking, the time that we spend
On the long long road
On the long long road
On the long long road
And the setting sun sinking, tired to the bone
On the long long road )
On the long long road
And the bones of the ocean, this land under me
On the long long road
Up the St. Lawrence to the queen of the Lakes
On the long long road
And the waves of the water, they endlessly break
On the long long road
( Chorus
On the long long road
On the long long road
The waves on the water, they endlessly break
On the long long road )
The prairies a straight line, beginning and end
On the long long road
And the mile posts marking the time that we spend
On the long long road
West to the mountains, that greyness of stone
On the long long road
And the setting sun sinking, tired to the bone
On the long long road
( Chorus
On the long long road
On the long long road
And the mile posts marking, the time that we spend
On the long long road
On the long long road
On the long long road
And the setting sun sinking, tired to the bone
On the long long road )
