Life...its a long long road. I woke up from deep sleep one night about 4 am and this song was there in my head, melody and all. I just wrote in down before I went back to sleep. That was the first and only time a complete song came to me while asleep.
lyrics
Its been a long long long long long road
Through the valley of tribulation, with its' beauty and its stone
Always chasing after phanotms, you aint never gonna catch them
Cause there aint nobody there
Just the vision of a beauty with her long flowing hair
They say every river eventually finds the sea
I sure hope their right , then there's still some hope for me
Remember no matter where you been you're gonna get to where you're going
Its been a long long long long long road
Through the back streets of the city
Smell of smoke and gasoline
Oh the faint memory of the past
Just like a finger print there buy not always seen
Sweet Mother of us all bless all your children
On their way home on their way home
