Long Way Home lyrics

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

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

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

One of these days

You're gonna see I was only

Taking the long way home

Although the letters stopped many years ago

I'll show you even time could not keep this heart

from letting go

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

[repeat]
