about

Hi, Steve here, to tell you a bit about this track. I combined images from Albany County, mixed them with some loosely autobiographical material, and it all came together here.

lyrics

Long Road Back
By Steve Werthner


VERSE 1
See the fields and farms
Hear the wind in the trees
We’ll be together soon
And I’ll hold you close to me
Tell me about your travels
And I’ll tell you mine every minute of mine
We’ll be together soon
It’s gonna’ take a little time

CHORUS 1
And it’s a long road back
Ride on through the black
Until daylight comes again
Don’t know how, or when
it’s a long road back

VERSE 2
I was broken then, I’m stronger now
You were sad in that house on a hill
Feeling good now, yeah for sure
And with you it’ll be better still

CHORUS 2
And it’s a long road back
When joy slips through the cracks
Until love comes again
Don’t know how or when
It’s a long road back

Bridge
You chased your demons
Until they disappeared
Sometimes you thought you’d slip
But you never lost your grip

VERSE 3
Now you’re here beneath the bluest sky
Head to the hills to clear your mind
Where you are is where you need to be
and right here is fine with me
A peaceful place we all want to find
And this is one I’m calling mine

CHORUS 3
And it’s a long road back
Ride on through the black
Until daylight comes again
Don’t know how or when
It’s a long road back
Welcome home,
It was a long road back
