Loudon Wainwright Iii - Come A Long Way lyrics

We've come a long way since we last shook hands Still got a long way to go We couldn't see the flowers since we last shook hands Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow What did you do with your burden and your cross Did you carry it yourself or did you crack You and I know that a burden and a cross Can only be carried on one man's back All my life I wanted to roam To go to the ends of the earth But the earth really ends where you started to roam You and I know what a circle is worth Let's drink a cup to what went down There's not much left to reveal I think I changed my mind after what went down As to who in the end got the better deal Give me your hand for the parting touch Fare thee well and thanks a lot I know that we promised we would keep in touch But you and I know that we both forgot We've come a long way since we last shook hands Still got a long way to go Couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow
