Lyrics
Prodigal © Freda Leask

Motionless morning
Day slow to run
Heart full of sorrow
And you're no where around
Long road before me
There's no turning back
Give me a reason
Won't you spin me a line
For I'm runnin' low on reason
And your runnin' out of time

Been a long time leavin'
A long time gone
Bee a long time runnin' home

Hand on your shoulder
Turn away
I'm standing on my point of view
No matter what the people might say
Chasin' dreams
Dreams have run wild
Lookin' for freedom
Well freedom has come
And there's change in your pocket
From a nighttime that is done

Been a long time leavin'
A long time gone
Been a long time runnin' home

long time running, (long time runnin' )- long time running, l(ong time runnin' )
you've been a long time runnin......................
