Long Way Home

verse 1 The other night I took the long way home Out past the old schoolyard It's funny how you keep it all inside Dreams they do die hard verse 2 I closed my eyes and I could see your face Somewhere back in time One summer night a million miles ago Back when you were mine Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows But don't carve the words in stone I know it's late But can't you see I was only Taking the long way home verse 3 Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up In trying to be free And all those dreams I sailed away to find Were right in front of me Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows But don't carve the words in stone I know it's late But can't you see I was only Taking the long way home Bridge Although the letters stopped many years ago I'll show you even time could not keep this heart from letting go verse 4 The other night I took the long way home Out past the old schoolyard It's funny how you keep it all inside Dreams they do die hard Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows But don't leave me here all alone One of these days You're gonna see I was only Taking the long way home Say yes, say no But don't leave me here all alone One of these days You're gonna see I was only Taking the long way home
