There's a sorrow in the wind,
        A                  E
Blowing down the road I've been,
      C#m7         B     A                 E
I can hear it cry, while shadows steal the sun.

             A         E
But I cannot look back now,
                     A    E
I've come too far to turn around,
            C#m7    A6                     E  A E
And there's still a race ahead that I must run.

(Chorus)         
 	  	  C#m7  B   E                C#m7  B   E
I'm only half..way home, I've gotta jour..ney on,
         F#m                 A        B7   E
To where I'll find, find the things I have lost,
            C#m7 B   E
I've come a long low road, 
                        C#m7  B  E
But still I've got some miles to go,
           F#m          A        E
I've got a wide, a wide river to cross.

I've come a long low road,

I have stumbled, I have strayed,
                  A        E
You can trace the tracks I made,
    C#m7           A             E       A E
All across the memories my heart recalls,
                A   E    A         E     A          E  A
But I'm still a refugee, won't you say a prayer for me?
       C#m7               A                 E
'Cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls.

(Chorus)

I've come a long low road,
