Rupert Holmes The Long Way Home song 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
