The Sound Songtext
von The Long Ryders

I heard something once
And I′ve chased it ever since
The sound that passed me by one day
Left me feeling like a prince
I followed where it led me
And got further from my home
The sound it never let me down
And it gave me room to roam
Friends would say, "When are you coming back?"
And I'd say, "Down the road"
It never did occur to me the sound would be my home
I rambled down back alleys
I crossed continents with kings
I sang for my very life
Salvation it would bring
Finally I stopped at your door
And I boldly stepped inside
Deep breath taken slowly


And I felt I could have died
"Friends," I say, "I got a home, come visit anytime"
It suddenly occurred to me the sound was you and I
It suddenly occurred to me the sound was you and I
To die I surely didn′t
You showed me how to live
You unlocked the song in me
Knew I still had more to give
I heard something once
And I've chased it ever since
The sound that passed me by one day
Left me feeling like a prince
I followed where it led me
And got further from my home
The sound it never let me down
And it gave me room to roam
It never did occur to me the sound would be my home
It never did occur to me the sound would be my home
