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.
