Testo
The Long Journey
[Verse] I took the train from Tennessee to see your smile Riding rails through night and day Mile after mile To where the rivers bend and memories compile In hopes to turn our sorrow into something worthwhile [Chorus] I flew to Mississippi just to hold your hand Crossed the clouds A silent prayer On this broken land Whispers of the heart Like a tear-streaked band Playing all the notes that our love had once planned [Verse] I drove from Nevada for just one sweet kiss Desert winds carried whispers of what we miss Tales of love and loss Wrapped in night’s abyss Searching for that touch that once promised bliss [Chorus] I flew to Mississippi just to hold your hand Crossed the clouds A silent prayer On this broken land Whispers of the heart Like a tear-streaked band Playing all the notes that our love had once planned [Bridge] Through the whispers of ghosts on forgotten tracks I carry your dreams in an old burlap sack The shadows linger where the sunlight cracks An echo of the love that never comes back [Chorus] I flew to Mississippi just to hold your hand Crossed the clouds A silent prayer On this broken land Whispers of the heart Like a tear-streaked band Playing all the notes that our love had once planned
