The Last Mile Home lyrics

The longest mile is the last mile home

When you've been away

The dearest dreams are your dreams of home

When you've been away

You travel far over land and sea

Then one day it's as clear as can be:

The sweetest mile you'll ever roam

Is the last mile home

You can travel 'round the globe

And see a lot of things

From Mandalay to old Pompeii

To Paris in the spring

But you'll only learn one thing

You'll only learn one thing:

The longest mile is the last mile home

When you've been away

The dearest dreams are your dreams of home

When you've been away

You travel far over land and sea

Then one day it's as clear as can be:

The sweetest mile you'll ever roam

Is the last mile home
