Pick me a yellow flower
I'll keep it safe, til we get home
And if you tire wildflower
I'll keep you safe, from thorn and stone
It's a long way home
For precious you
It's a long way home
But not for two
When I can't carry you I'll think of this
Your daylily smile, up next to mine
Til that day comes I will cherish this
Mustard coloured dress, arms reaching high
It's a long way home
For summer shoes
Its a long way home
But I've got you
Oh and I, I will climb every hill for you
Every blow, every sadness carried too
Should a wind turn these skies and meadows cold
I'll wait here if I must I will let you go
It's a long way home
For precious you
It's a long way home
But not for two
Pressed in a book a yellow flower
Patient and safe, and full of grace
Beyond the hills my wildflower
Moves with the wind, so full of grace
It's a long way home
For summer shoes
Its a long way home
But I've got you
