Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Come a Long Way lyrics

Well we 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 What did you do with your burden and your cross Did you carry it yourself or did you crack We all 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 And you and I know what a circle is worth Give me your hand for the parting touch Fare thee well and thanks a lot I know we promised to keep in touch But you and I know that we both forgot 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 Ah we 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
