"Emigration Song" Lyrics

Theres been a lot between us,
such a lot between us,
and somehow the road ahead got closed.
I left the home of a lifetime,
and even now I'd have to walk the same line,
knowing the road ahead will close.
I wish I'd stayed when you asked me,
but I was so young and care-free,
not knowing that the road ahead would close.

If only I...
could face my fear.
Then you could wipe away the tear.
Thats stayed so long..
on mothers cheek.
Lets raise the flag and sing the song,
to keep the home fires burning on.
For what we have we'll never give away.

So i tried to move a mountain,
so many now,
that Ive stopped counting.
And always the road ahead is closed.
They tried to cover their traces,
they lied to hide their faces,
but someday their road ahead will close.

If only I...
could face my fear.
Then you could wipe away the tear.
Thats stayed so long..
on mothers cheek.
Lets raise the flag and sing the song,
to keep the home fires burning on.
For what we have we'll never give away.

Lets raise the flag and sing the song,
to keep the home fires burning on.
For what we have we'll never give away.

Theres been a lot between us,
such a lot between us,
and somehow the road ahead got closed.
I left the home of a lifetime,
and even now I'd have to walk the same line,
knowing the road ahead will close.
I wish I'd stayed when you asked me,
but I was so young and care-free,
not knowing that the road ahead would close.

Always the road
Always the road
