Taking The Long Way Home Lyrics

Sunrise

Morning mist on the meadow

Daybreak

Morning mist has to fade

Wildlife

Morning mist for to swallow

Your eyes

Something I can't evade

I'm taking the long way home

Finding a shortcut there

Out of the danger zone

No need to say a prayer

I guess I'd be free if you were looking at me

And I was touching your child-like hair

If you're there, why don't you pick up the phone

You must be taking the long way home

Her eyes

Aqua blue in the moonlight

Unwise

To try to make sense of the past

White lies

Covered with black ash and graphite

Disguised

As something I thought would last

I'm taking the long way home

Finding a shortcut there

Out of the danger zone

No need to say a prayer

I always feel free when you're looking at me

And I'm touching your child-like hair

If you're there, why do I feel so alone

You must be taking the long way home

It's a long road

The fist of the night is unfolding

So cold

The chill of a three A.M. breeze

All told

It's you that I want to be holding

Breaking the mold

I'm crawling to you on my knees

I'm taking the long way home

Finding a shortcut there

Out of the danger zone

No need to say a prayer

We've got to get free, so start looking at me

And brush back that child-like hair

If you're there, I'll be there no matter how far you roam

We're just taking the long way home
