Long Long Way

Look at them laughing they thought it was funny

Another of his foolish games

He packed up his things took just what he could carry

Said goodbye I'm going away

And there in the moment they thought it was strange

Quite unusual to understand

But things aren't always what they seem to be

And the picture he painted was not what he planned

And he's gone as long as it will take him

To find a place to rest his crazy mind

And he knows his will will not forsake him

Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'

Even though he knows that it's a

Long long way

He listens to rivers and talks to the moment

When nobody else is around

He lives in the creases between rhymes and reasons

Where magic and secrets are found

He looked at the desert and he saw the flowers

Of meadows and mountains of blue

He's danced with the silence and held onto whispers

And treasures each moment he's traveling through

And he's gone as long as it will take him

To find a place to rest his crazy mind

And he knows his will will not forsake him

Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'

Even though he knows that it's a

Long long way

And when he finds the gold

They'll come to him and circle him

Like birds up in the sky

Tearing at the peace and joy he's found

And he's gone as long as it will take him

To find a place to rest his crazy mind

And he knows his will will not forsake him

Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'

Walking on what he believes in

Deep inside his heart is screamin'

Even though he knows that it's a

Long long way

Long long way

Long long way
