The other night I took the long way home
Out past the old schoolyard
It`s funny how you keep it all inside
Dreams they do die hard
I closed my eyes and I could see your face
Somewhere back in time
One summer night a million miles ago
Back when you were mine
Say yes, say no, say that I`m grabbing at shadows
But don`t carve the words in stone
I know it`s late
But can`t you see I was only
Taking the long way home
Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up
In trying to be free
And all those dreams I sailed away to find
Were right in front of me
Say yes, say no, say that I`m grabbing at shadows
But don`t carve the words in stone
One of these days
You`re gonna see I was only
Taking the long way home
Although the letters stopped many years ago
I`ll show you even time could not keep this heart
from letting go
The other night I took the long way home
Out past the old schoolyard
It`s funny how you keep it all inside
Dreams they do die hard
Say yes, say no, say that I`m grabbing at shadows
But don`t leave me here all alone
One of these days
You`re gonna see I was only
Taking the long way home
Say yes, say no
But don`t leave me here all alone
One of these days
You`re gonna see I was only
Taking the long way home
