Dan Fogelberg - The Long Way lyrics

She was lost And I thought I was found Even so I tried To bring her in... She was young And I had just begun To learn that even Losing men can win. We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. Overnight We were shown the light Neither of us knew To look away... So we burned And far too late we learned That lifetimes can't be lived out In a day. We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. So, goodbye At least me made the try Something can be said for love that's pure. If and when We ever try again One thing will be known to us For sure... We'll go the long way We'll go the long way We'll go the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know.
