- LYRICS:
From the railhead to the boatyard from the factory to the farm
From the mine to the mill yard I've weathered the storm
From the barroom to the bedpost I've wasted my days
All I have is my drink and the time left to think
While time slips away
Just look at my face as you tell me goodbye
You'll see what I'm after by the look in my eye
Just walk away and leave me alone
It's a long way back home
Now in case you should ask me what it is I have done
Well I say I'm a soldier who once had a son
But my son doesn't know me that's his right to choose
Oh say can you see my best friend is me
I'm a friend I could use
Just look at my face as you tell me goodbye
You'll see what I'm after by the look in my eye
Just walk away and leave me alone
It's a long way back home
Now the pages have faded the story grows cold
And the plot falls to ashes like the ruins of old
Those rats in my rafters they're after my shoes
And anything else they can find on the shelf
I've said they could use
Just look at my face as you tell me goodbye
You'll see what I'm after by the look in my eye
Just walk away and leave me alone
It's a long way back home
It's a long way back home

멋진 기타 소리와 참 멋진 목소리의 노래입니다.^^
Thank you, my friend! I am glad you like this!
"Long Way Back Home" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot, from his 4th studio album, BACK HERE ON EARTH, released in 1968. He wrote every song on the album, as was usually the case. I have all of Gordon's studio albums, plus two live albums, on CD. Bob Dylan, when asked who he thought were the world's best songwriters (other than himself!) said Gordon Lightfoot and Kris Kristofferson were the top two in his opinion.
I could feel the nice countryside atmosphere from your performance. Thank you for sharing

Thank you very much, my friend! I guess this song is something of a deep album cut, but I love it! Glad you like my rendition! 😊👍
loved Gordon Lightfoot- at this time of year I love his Song for a Winters Night. Great cover 🎸🎶👏
Thank you, Harriet! Glad you like this! I'm a big Gordon Lightfoot fan! I'm glad I managed to see him in concert (Manchester 2016) before he passed away in 2023. My youngest son, Jonathan, came with me and it was a great show! We each bought a T-shirt. Jonathan has grown to be bigger than his old dad, so his T-shirt no longer fits him! He gave it to me, so I now have two!
@ I would have loved to have seen him- been a fan since my teens

Thank you, Jeff! I bought the T-shirt when I saw Gordon in concert on his final UK tour in 2016. Or it could be the one my youngest son bought (he went with me). My son has grown to be bigger than me since then, so he gave me his T-shirt! 😆

Well, I regularly offer fresh bits of lettuce to a grateful little family of slugs who always somehow manage to take up residence under my refrigerator during winter months, but I'd definitely draw the line at rats. The slugs always go back outside in the springtime; so I think of them more as asylum-seekers, than parasites.
Slugs eh? We used to get them squeezing under our kitchen door during the night, when we lived in a semi-detached house. They would leave slimy trails on the tiled floor, but the slugs would be gone by the time we went downstairs in the morning. No such problems now because we live in an apartment, one floor up! Thanks for the visit, and the comment!
@@roberthaigh3206 They're a lot quieter and less destructive, than mice, anyway!
@@marshallmkerr Yes, I suppose so. Speaking of mice reminds me of when I was about 20-years of age and still living at home with my parents. We spotted a mouse in our house, on the upstairs landing. My father moved as quick as a flash, grabbing the first thing he could find to hand -- one of my shoes! -- but the mouse ran underneath the rug on the landing! It was like something out of a Tom & Jerry cartoon, as the mouse ran beneath the rug, raising it slightly as it travelled across. My father brought the heel of my shoe crashing down on the rug, above the mouse, several times! When he turned the rug over, the mouse was flattened, and a bloody mess! At least my shoe didn't get spattered! Poor mouse, but it was funny to witness! It turned out that the mouse had entered our house via next door's attic -- a bit like the rats in the rafters in Gordon Lightfoot's song! We called in pest control, who laid traps, but no other mice were ever found. 👞
@@roberthaigh3206 They'll definitely take over, if you don't put your foot (shoe) down! 🐁
@@marshallmkerr 😂🤣👍
