Art Garfunkel - Long Way Home lyrics

The answer took some searching for But you think you understand With the lights still off Our clothes still on the floor And your head in your hands You say she's holding you back And bringing you down You're all out of reasons to stick around It's time to think of yourself In spite of her tears And break your vow of so many years Well don't get me wrong I like what I hear And even if it's true I have to ask 'Cause I wanna be absolutely clear Just what am I to you Oh I'm your light in the dark Your breath of fresh air The love of your life The answer to all your prayers No, I am just your long way home I know it, you'll know it soon I am just your long way home You're welcome That morning the day had finally come For somebody to lose You kissed me hard and walked out of my door To give her the bad news But I followed you there Like the sick f** I am To see what she'd do when you said goodbye again She opened the door She opened her arms And you fell into them like a baby And there from my car I became your long way home I knew it, you know it now I was just your long way home I knew it, she knows it now I was just your long way home You're welcome
