Art Garfunkel - Long Way Home lyrics

rate me

The answer

Took some searchin for,

But you think you understand.

With the lights still on,

Our clothes still on the floor,

And your head in your hands

You say hes holdin you back

And bringin you down.

Youre all out of reasons

To stick around.

Its time to think of yourself

In spite of his tears

And break your vow

Of so many years.

Dont get me wrong.

I like what I hear,

And even if its true,

I have to ask

Cause I want to be absolutely clear:

Just what am I to you?

Oh, Im 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.

Youll know it soon.

I am just your

Long way home.

Youre welcome.

That morning

The day had finally come

For somebody to lose.

You kissed me hard

And walked out of my door

To give him the bad news.

But I followed you there

Like the sick f___k I am

To see what hed do

When you said good-bye again.

You opened the door,

And he opened his arms,

And you fell into them

Like a baby.

I left for 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.

He knows it now.

I was just your

Long way home.

Youre welcome.
