As the pandemic goes on - this song is to help comfort those who are weary

Long Long Road

Walking down a long, long road, walking down a long, long road


And the road is too lonely unless you’re made of stone
And time goes by slowly when you’re chilled to the bone
And I know of only one thing you could do
Find someone who loves you


Walking down a long, long road, walking down a long, long road


Where the chill winds are howling shadows are falling
Night creatures crawling still there in the morning
When you’re on your own to face the great unknown
No one ever told me


Until the day I found you I wrapped my love around you
When you opened up my heart and I could see
Someone who could be someone who’d walk with me
Down the long, long road


Walking down a long, long road, walking down a long, long road


And the road is no longer a place that I wander
As long as you hold me and your love enfolds me
Now that I ha9ve found you I’ll never let you go
And I’ll never walk alone down the long, long road
No I’ll never walk alone down the long, long road

Long Long Road
