Long Way Round

Millions of lovers in love / all learning how love is not free
You’re gonna go a long way round until you get back to me
Sky dropping rain on the earth / the sun’s picking it from the sea
It’s gonna go a long way round until you return to me

All at once when the time is right
You’ll be deep in the dark and you’ll see the light
The same light I’ve known
The same love I’ve been shown
And the curve will begin with a little nudge 
All the stuff that was stuck will begin to budge
And that’ll be the day
And you’ll be on your way

Love begins in the prisons of time and proceeds in the struggle to be
You’re gonna go a long way round until you return to me

Long way round, long way round... 
Mm mm mm mm mm 
You’re gonna go a long way round, long way round...
Mm mm mm mm mm 

Every life is a dream of itself  / every dream a desire to be free
It’s gonna go along way round before you return to me

All at once when the time is right...

So keep a cool eye out for the signs / and just do what the signs say
You’re gonna go a long way round until you get back this way
n your days at the penny arcade and your nights at the dime dance
It’s gonna go a long way round before we’ve another chance

Long way round, long way round...
