Long, Long Way Lyrics

1998 Forefront Records
This is the hard part
Stopping to ask for directions
Sketching with these dirty colors just where I am
You might have heard me
Artfully dodging the buzz-words
And scoffing at your insinuation
Of just where I am
Chorus: I'm a long long way
From where I left to begin this refrain
From where your mercy and grace remain
From where you sit is it true
It's not that far to you
It happened slowly
Feet falling hard on the pavement
Eyes reaching into the distance
Towards empty sunsets
Bridge: Didn't I need to break out, want to be king?
Wouldn't I face the gallows if I return?
Or is s man freely pardoned
As I have heard
Precious Jesus
Where can I flee from your spirit?
You know me too well
This is my first shot at tabbing a song, and I tried my best. The verses
and chorus are pretty accurate I think but I'm not so sure about the
bridge. That is the way I play it and it sounds okay. Smalltown Poets
use a mandolin and a violin in this song and it sounds great!
