Mile Twelve - Journey's End
текст песни

VERSE 1
I wake up in a quiet bedroomIn a crowded city that is not my ownThe air is hot and thick and wrapped around me
But I'm cold to the bone

A weary man is sitting in a chairSeems he came in off the street that nightHe stares at nothing as he whispers softlyShow me the light, show me the light, I'll follow when you show me the light

CHORUS
It's a long way down to journey's endI'm far from home but my home is far from gone
Through the trials and troubles and war my friends
It's a long way but I'll keep traveling on

VERSE 2
I walk for miles through that cityThe buildings shining in the morning sun
Endless bolted doors and boarded windows
Not a home for anyone

Then I come across the public squareWhere a thousand people form a single lineSad and silent they just wait there patientlyFor a word or a sign, a word or a sign, they're waiting for a word or a sign

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Though I feel like running far awayTo a quiet mountaintop or a peaceful shoreSomething deep within keeps me from goingStill I don't know what for, I don't know what for, seems like I might never know what for

CHORUS
