I am growing tall
Like a long shadow
Like my father
I am growing old
May I find peace
In the long shadow
Of my father
May it bring me home
And east of the river
After years have passed
I will think of you
A new wind blows
Shadows on your face
And by the side of my woman
I'm filled with grace
May she find peace
In the long shadow
Like my father
I will give her home
And east of the river
Whether years have passed
She will know of you
One day a distant voice
Will call to beckon you home
Home to your father
And when that day comes
May a swift release
Come to find your soul
And in the shadows
May it guide you home
May you find peace
In the long shadow
Of your father
May it bring you home
I am growing tall
Like a long shadow
Like my father
I'm going home
