The other night I took the long way home Out past the old schoolyard Its funny how you keep it all inside Dreams they do die hard I closed my eyes and I could see your face Somewhere back in time One summer night a million miles ago Back when you were mine Say yes, say no, say that Im grabbing at shadows But dont carve the words in stone I know its late But cant you see I was only Taking the long way home Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up In trying to be free And all those dreams I sailed away to find Were right in front of me Say yes, say no, say that Im grabbing at shadows But dont carve the words in stone One of these days Youre gonna see I was only Taking the long way home Although the letters stopped many years ago Ill show you even time could not keep this heart From letting go The other night I took the long way home Out past the old schoolyard Its funny how you keep it all inside Dreams they do die hard Say yes, say no, say that Im grabbing at shadows But dont leave me here all alone One of these days Youre gonna see I was only Taking the long way home Say yes, say no But dont leave me here all alone One of these days Youre gonna see I was only Taking the long way home [repeat]
