lyrics

The Watcher and the Wanderer by Kathy Kostelec (c) 2003

It’s a long long journey from here to nowhere
It’s a long long road when you can’t go home
With no one to share your heavy burden
And no one to care when you cry alone.

I see you standing alone beside deep waters
Your eyes reach far beyond the other side
To a place where dreams are not forgotten
Though hope has vanished with the tide.

The tears you hide are falling from the heavens
Late summer Rain spawns rivers of regret
That flood your mind with springtime’s gentle blossoms
Though winter comes you’ll not forget.

It’s a long long journey from here to nowhere
It’s a long long road when you can’t go home
With no one to share you’re heavy burden
And no one to care when you cry alone.

I see you walking the lonely path of silence
The well worn trail is hard beneath your feet
Each day the journey leaves your heart so weary
When darkness comes you will not sleep.

I’d give my life to see your weep no longer
To see the longing leave your eyes
And now the low black cloud is fast approaching
All hope has vanished from my sight.

It’s a long long journey from here to nowhere
It’s a long long road when you can’t go home
With no one to share you’re heavy burden
And no one to care when you cry alone.
