Dan Fogelberg - The Long Way lyrics

rate me

She was lost

And I thought I was found

Even so I tried

To bring her in...

She was young

And I had just begun

To learn that even

Losing men can win.

We went the long way

We went the long way

We went the long way...

Or maybe just the wrong way

I'll never know.

Overnight

We were shown the light

Neither of us knew

To look away...

So we burned

And far too late we learned

That lifetimes can't be lived out

In a day.

We went the long way

We went the long way

We went the long way...

Or maybe just the wrong way

I'll never know.

So, goodbye

At least me made the try

Something can be said for

love that's pure.

If and when

We ever try again

One thing will be known to us

For sure...

We'll go the long way

We'll go the long way

We'll go the long way...

Or maybe just the wrong way

I'll never know.
