Liner notes

Faraway places. Oceans. Other lands.

Yet all the heart wants is to be home. This is a song about that journey home, no matter how far that journey is. For what are miles across the ocean to the heart that’s coming home?

Lyrics

City lights shine on the harbour,
night has fallen down,
through the darkness and the shadow
I will still go on.

Long, long journey through the darkness,
long, long way to go;
but what are miles across the ocean
to the heart that’s coming home?

Where the road runs through the valley,
where the river flows,
I will follow every highway to the place I know.

Long, long journey through the darkness,
long, long way to go;
but what are miles across the ocean
to the heart that’s coming home?

Long, long journey out of nowhere,
long, long way to go;
but what are sighs and what is sadness
to the heart that’s coming home?

(repeat)
