I left home a long long time ago
In a tin can for the road
With a suitcase and some songs
Chasing miles through the night time
Making tracks with no time for looking back
To the place where I belong

How these days grow long
But I'm on my way back home
It's been hard to be away

How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you 'til my dying day
How these days grow long

When you're sad, you know I wish I could be there
To make your sorrows disappear
And set your troubles free
It's not fair for me to be this far from you
But I promise to stay true
Wherever I might be

Time keeps burning, the wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I fee I'm wasting my days
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you 'til my dying day

How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long

Now, I'm lost in a sea of sunken dreams
While the sound of drunken screams echoes in the night
But I know all of this will come to pass
And I'll be with you at last forever by your side, mm

How these days grow long
But I'm on my way back home
It's been hard to be away

How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you 'til my dying day
And time keeps burning, the wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my days
Oh, how I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you 'til my dying day

How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long
