Les paroles de la chanson
« Long is the way »
Jehro

Oh Lord I made it through
I’m gonna lay down my load
One more mile or two
Can’t escape from my fate, no

{Refrain:}
Long is the way, Long is the way
Long is the way, Long is the way

All clad in silk and gold
I have seen kings and their queens
With just one single golden thread
I could have woven dreams

I’ve dug for gold it’s true
And those kings granted loans
But I’m still empty-handed
Now I’m heading home

{au Refrain}

Set sail long ago
Pledged to fortune and fame
And the woman that I will face
Shoulders bent in shame
Almost hope that she broke
Solemn promise she made to me
Save her hand for a rich mann
In vain, in vain, for me

{au Refrain}

There’s a car coming this way
It’s the first in a line
With a sense of foreboding
I try to see inside

My eyes meet through the bridal veil
Those that I left behind
Both our hearts have stopped beating
Two promises have died

{au Refrain}
