I met a man in memphis

glory to the south

minister of magic

keeper of the house

standing at the crossroads

he gathered up my bones

threw them on his back and said

"hey son, it's time to find the one way home"



such a long way

such a long long way

such a long long way to go



I found a friend in phoenix

said she knew the way

talkin' 'bout tomorrow

countin' down the days

I woke up in her garden

lost but not alone

she gathered up my things and said

"hey son, it's time to find the one way home"



such a long way...



I came upon a castle

changing of the guard

looked beyond the barbed wire

saw my own backyard

I heard a million voices

from statues made of stone

say "welcome to the big one, son

you're just in time to find the one way home"



such a long way...



which direction will you take

on the journey you must make
