Long Way Round

CHORUS:      We’ve taken the long way round

                       Trying to make our love come true

                       I’ve taken the long way round

                       Trying to get next to you

                       How could a love so tender run aground?

                       It'll be a long day before I know

                       I can't say where we went wrong

                       But honey we sure have taken the

                       Long way round

Love seemed a pure and simple thing

When we started down this road

But for too long now it's the furrowed brow

And back bent beneath the load

I'd stop us both right in our tracks

Start over if we could

Before we're gone for good          

How can two fools break all the rules

When they don't even know the game?

How can a hand hold back the wind

That would snuff this candle flame?

A glance, a simple word astray

And our world falls apart

While harder grows the heart       (CHORUS)

CHORUS:      We’ve taken the long way round

                       Trying to make our love come true

                       I’ve taken the long way round

                       Trying to get next to you

                       How could a love so tender run aground?

                       It'll be a long day before I know

                       I can't say where we went wrong

                       But honey we sure have taken the

                       Long way round

                       Maybe you and me might make it yet

                       But even if we do, we’ve got to admit

                       That honey we sure have taken the

                       Long way round

                       Taken the long way round

                       Taken the long way round
