For fiftyfive days I've been flying around the world

That my life once full was surely running dry

I prayed a while but then I had to cry
[Refrão] G D
Look in my eyes I know

The road is far too long

And life too short to carry on
Am G

And all I've got to do is sit and cry
[Refrão] G D
Look in my eyes I know
F C
That man is surely just a man

It's no surprise I know

The road is far too long
