It's Such A Long Way Home

Chris de Burgh

Transposer:

Intro: verse 1: Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel Trying to write a letter just to show you that I’m well But I’ve been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace And though there really is no reason I’ve been looking for your face. It’s such a long way home It’s such a long way home It’s such a long way... verse 2: Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms And then she whispered "oh dear lord don’t let him come to any harm" And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but "please come home". It’s such a long way home It’s such a long way home It’s such a long way... Bridge: Oh so many people have to travel away From the ones that they love and they need But I want to tell you that all your life You can depend on me. verse 3: Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune And it’s the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon And as the band begins to play it with a shock I realize That it’s a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry. It’s such a long way home It’s such a long way home It’s such a long way such a long way home.

La chanson évoque la mélancolie d'un homme qui se retrouve loin de celle qu'il aime. Assis dans un hôtel en ruine, il tente d'écrire une lettre pour rassurer, tout en observant les gens qui passent devant lui, cherchant désespérément le visage de cette personne aimée. Le voyage est long et difficile, et il se rappelle des moments partagés, comme ce dernier au moment de l'embarquement où sa compagne lui a demandé de prendre soin de lui, lui faisant comprendre qu'elle attend son retour avec impatience. Le texte met en avant la distance physique qui sépare les êtres chers, mais également le lien émotionnel qui reste intact malgré l'éloignement. Les souvenirs heureux, comme une chanson jouée par un saxophoniste, rappellent à quel point leur connexion est forte, même à des kilomètres de là.
