Lyrics
The Long Way Home
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
along a beaten path
that's where it all began
i sold my soul for dreams
for things i couldn't see
along an open road
a story to be told
embrace the future and
alone you too should win
and you can find the heart
to have a brand new start
and you can find the stars
among the deepest dark
take the long way home
take the long way home
take the long way home
to me
you've told the truth with lies
recounting alibis
the plans you meant to keep
they seem so out of reach
but to look the other way
and to run instead of stay
to loose the hope you've had
to get it back again
take the long way home
take the long way home
take the long way home
to me
words and music
