The Long Way

Intro

Verse 1

Paper

In the pocket

Of a coat I used to wear

Back when the morning air was cold

And I had yellow sand

Stuck in my shoes

Looking for a reason

To leave

Chorus

Take the long way round

Over the hill and the hollow ground

Everything lost is finally found

When you take the long way round

The long way round

Verse 2

Rain

On the window

Pattern like a map of mine

Silver and fine across the glass

While the kettle sings

A high lonely note

Watching the seasons

Turning

Chorus

Take the long way round

Over the hill and the hollow ground

Everything lost is finally found

When you take the long way round

The long way round

Bridge

I have seen the sun go down in places I don't know

I have seen the moon come up with nowhere left to go

I have seen the light go out and felt the winter snow

Still I'm walking

Slowly walking

Chorus

Take the long way round

Over the hill and the hollow ground

Everything lost is finally found

When you take the long way round

The long way round

Outro

Walking home

The long way round

Walking home

The long way round

Just a bit further

Over the hill

The long way round

The long way round
