Long Shadow

(album: The Other Side: B-Sides And Rarities - 2009)

I am growing tall
Like a long shadow
Like my father
I am growing bold
May I find peace
In the long shadow
Of my father
They'd bring me home

And east of the river
After years have past
I will think of you

A new wind blows
Shadows on your face
And by the side of my woman
I am filled with grace
May she find peace
In the long shadow
Like my father
I will give her home

And east of the river
Where the years have past
She will know of you

One day a distant voice
Will call to beckon you home
Home to your father
And when that day comes
May our swift release
Come to find your soul
And in the shadow
They'd guide you home
May you find peace
In the long shadow
Of your fathers
They'd bring you home

I am growing tall
Like a long shadow
Like my father
I am going home
