The Long Way Home

The hours that we spent in between

They didn't mean what we wanted them to mean

We were tired and scared and having dreams of showing

Up unprepared

Now the little bird is perched on that giant tree

Singing songs so sweet and beautifully

Now as the sun it sets

I wonder if there will be anything I'll regret

So let's take the long way home

Every moment I spend with you

Let's make it slow, so slow

We'll mark the moments as they go.

I love when everything falls into place

Only happens after I've given up the race

Well, I have eyes to see



I have life that's bursting forth inside of me

So let's take the long way home

Every moment I spend with you

Let's make it slow, so slow

We'll mark the moments as they go.

To many people I have been many things

Hunger hatred love and endless innocence

And to those who've gone

I am one who will remember them in song

So let's take the long way home

Every moment I spend with you

Let's make it slow, so slow

We'll mark the moments as they go.

We'll mark the moments as the go

Yeah we'll mark the moments as they go.
