The Long Way Home

Lyrics

We passed the exit by the mill You said the sky looked good I kept my foot above the brake We drove beyond the woods The map was folded at your feet Your shoes beside the door For once we had no place to be And nothing to be late for Take the long way home Let the road run wide Every mile beside you Lets my heart unwind Take the long way home Let the daylight go I am where I want to be Anywhere we roam We bought two peaches at a stand And ate them in the shade You spilled a little on your shirt I laughed the stain away We used to make such heavy plans And never let them bend Now I would miss a turning just To take this road again There is a light we both can find Without a street or sign The distance doesn't worry me When your hand rests in mine Take the long way home Let the road run wide Every mile beside you Lets my heart unwind Take the long way home Let the daylight go I am where I want to be Anywhere we roam
