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.
Even though the world is dark
Try to light a little part
Don't go run and hide
Give a little of my heart
Only then the beat will start
Keeping me in time
Life, doesn't wait for long
Oh, oh, it's a winding road
Oh, oh, take the long way home
Oh, oh, when you're there
You'll know
You can find yourself on the long way home
Ohh ohh ohh, take the long way home
Ohh ohh ohh, take the long, way, home
Sinking in the undertone
Never knowing where to go
How to find something more?
Looking for a kind you want
Only then the dreams will come
Knocking on my door
Life doesn't wait for long
Oh, oh, it's a winding road
Oh, oh, take the long way home
Oh, oh, when you're there you will know
You can find yourself on the long way home
Oh, oh, it's a winding road
Oh, oh, take the long way home
Oh, oh, when you're there you will know
You can find yourself on the long way home
Oh, oh, it's a winding road
Oh, oh, take the long way home
Oh, oh, when you're there you will know
You have found yourself on the long way home
So take the long way home
Take the long way home
