Long Way To Go
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.
Dreamin' is only dreamin'
Till dreamin' is the only thing that's true
Wishin' is only wishin'
Till my only thoughts' the wish to be with you
I've got a long way to go before i get there
I've got a lot of field to hoe with the sun so high
Got a lot of miles to roll
And the next few only show
That there's still such a long way to go
Hopin' doesn't feel like hopin'
If i can feel your heart hopin' too
Touchin' doesn't feel like touchin'
Until feel the next touch from you
I've got a long way to go before i get there
I've got a lot of field to hoe with the sun so high
Got a lot of miles to roll
And the next few only show
That there's still such a long way to go
Wanting just keeps me wanting
The next and last both keep me wanting you
Waiting just keeps me waiting
Until there's no more waiting left to do
I've got a long way to go before i get there
I've got a lot of field to hoe with the sun so high
Got a lot of miles to roll
And the next few only show
That there's still such a long way to go
