So my love there's an opening
Where the road cuts across the plains
And scales the mountain's back
And one side meets the other
There's a flood burning in the hills
And smoke throughout the sky
Circling the west
Circling the long way home
We all draw
A curving line
We follow just to find
Where it leads
(I'm. on. the long way home)
Circling
I'm just on
The long way home
(I'm. on. the long way home)
And my love there's a rolling space
Your wheels push the ground for days
A mile above the sea
And I wish that you were sitting here
As the clock wears down the hills
A second at a time
One second at a time
We all draw
A curving line
We follow just to find
Where it leads
(I'm. on. the long way home)
And I'm circling
On
The long way home
(I'm. on. the long way home)
The long way
I-5 Pacific on the left
Where your eyes squint away the sun
And I'm just a bag of bones
Circling the long way home
The long way home
My love
