I took one step away
And I thought it was the heart
Still feel the heat from here
Still see the lights still feel the warmth
What's another step or two
That wouldn't be so wrong would it?
Then when I looked for truth
My eye for truth was gone
And out of desperation
Have mercy please
A spell of wisdom just came over me
Chorus
I took the long way home
Back to what I believe
I took the long way home
You were waiting there for me
You were always faithful even when
My faith was not so strong
It's been a long way home
No I never intended to
Get off the track so far
The lights that turned my head
Are looking quite bizare
It takes so little time
For me to be deceived, yeah
But just a simple phrase
Can bring me to my knees
There are some stones better left unturned
And some bridges never crossed are better burned
Chorus
I took the long way home
Back to what I believe
I took the long way home
You were waiting there for me
You were always faithful even when
My faith was not so strong
Ah, It's been a long way home
Oh, I took the long way home
Back to what I believe
I took the long way home
You were waiting there for me
You were always faithful even when
My faith was not so strong
It's been a long way home
