Lyrics

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
