Rupert Holmes - The Long Way Home lyrics

I haven't seen you in a month of Sundays Ah you look so good today You're that instant rush of breeze That shakes the pine combs from their trees And blows the smoke of stale acquaintances away This quiet town seems just they way we left it When we left not long ago Though we know each by heart Lets take the maze of lanes from start And ease ourselves along the path we used to know The long way home The long way home Let's walk the long way home Long after dark we strolled the park We're hand in hand we roam past the shores Where love was sure to foam I'll take you back The long way home And so I love you like I loved this river As if flows from then to there Like that silent village pond Like the rabbits far beyond You are the answer to a not forgotten prayer The long way home The long way home Let's walk the long way home Long after dark we strolled the park We're hand in hand we roam past the shores Where love was sure to foam I'll take you back The long way home
