Foreigner - Long, Long Way from Home Lyrics

It was a Monday
A day like any other day
I left a small town for the apple in decay

It was my destiny
It's what we needed to do
They were telling me, I'm telling you

I was inside looking outside
The millions of faces
But still I'm alone


Waiting, hours of waiting
Paying a penance
I was longing for home

I'm looking out for the two of us
I hope we'll be here when they're through with us

I was inside looking outside
Oh, the millions of faces
But still I'm alone


Waiting, hours of waiting
I could feel the tension
I was longing for home

I'm looking out for the two of us
And I hope we'll be here when they're through with us
I'm coming home

Monday, sad, sad Monday
She's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home

Sad, sad Monday
She's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home

Sad, sad Monday
Oh, she's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home

  I left home and went to new york and was so lonely and all the folks were not friendly. It was Monday and I was so so sad. Damned sad. So sad I wrote this song...

  The Big Apple in decay, the loneliness, New York sucks, that is what this all means...
