Love Is A Long Game Lyrics

Love Is A Long Game

When I started out all that I wanted was to find a way out of that place

Riddled with doubt sure I was haunted I lost track of everyone's face

And now I'm looking at roads that I travelled and memories are all that have grown

Forty-five years since I've been gone say it sure is a long way back home

I never knew I never noticed the love we were growing inside

You never spoke and I never woke up and all of our dreams finally died

And now I'm gazing at stars that are blazing as they burst in the hazy unknown

Forty-five years since I've been gone say it sure is a long way back home

Broken and cold heartaches and feelings I've locked them away for so long

The dreams that I sold wheeling and dealing they tore my soul out of my song

And now I'm glued to the graveyards of stanzas that destiny meant to be poems

Forty-five years since I've been gone say it sure is a long way back home

Dancing at dawn to an unwritten love song and knowing the wrong songs always fade

Forty-five years since I've been gone say it love is a long game to play

Oh yeah I've been gone say it love is a long game to play

Love is a long game to play
