Won't Take
Long Lyrics
Words and
music by Mitch McVicker and Brad Layher
Well my
home is far away,
But it
won't take long to get there
Yeah my
home is far away,
But it
won't take long to arrive
My home
is far away,
But it
won't take long to get there
So I will
walk, Yes I will run, until I fly
And it
won't take long
Won't take
long
Well the
sea is deep and blue
And the
tide goes up and down,
Oh the
sea is deep and blue
And the
moon pulls its chain
Yeah the
sea is deep and blue
And the
tide goes up and down,
So it goes,
so it stays,
So the
shores are simply changed
And the
night is so black
And the
sky is so big
But the
stars show their faces
Though
they look still
They are
twirling, they are swirling,
They are
whirling ...
And my home
is far away
But it
won't take long to get there
My home
is far away,
But it
won't take long to arrive
My homes
so far away,
But it
won't take long to get there
So I will
walk, I will run, until I fly
And it
won't take
It won't
take long
No it won't
take long
No it won't
take long

From Mitch:
I wrote
this song with my good friend Brad Layher, who also happens to play music
with me. We were driving from New York to Tennessee and we were overwhelmed
with how long it was going to take to get home. Brad was practicing the
mandola while I was driving and so I stuck a melody and a few lyrics over
the chord progression he was playing. Then, that got us thinking about
how our true home can seem so far away, but it wouldn't take that long
to get there.
Psalm
23( background vocals of this psalm are spoken by brad on this song)
On The song
It
Won't Take Long.. who came up with the idea to do psalm 23 in the background?
It's very effective.
Mitch:
I just thought the psalm 23 thing worked well with the song. Mark
thought so as well, so we did it. Brad did a great job with it.
