The Long Way Home

Testo

[Verse 1] Fiona keeps a paper map Folded in her winter coat Every town has one good café Every road has room to go [Pre-Chorus] She writes the names in careful ink Then laughs before the page can dry [Chorus] Fiona, take the long way home Leave a little room for changing plans If the morning finds you far from known You can build a life with open hands Fiona, wherever you roam There’s a door that knows your name [Verse 2] She carries rain inside a jar From the first place she felt brave Says the smallest souvenirs Can outlast the grandest days [Pre-Chorus] She hears the train beyond the hill And lets the silence answer still [Chorus] Fiona, take the long way home Leave a little room for changing plans If the morning finds you far from known You can build a life with open hands Fiona, wherever you roam There’s a door that knows your name [Bridge] When the path bends out of sight When the old signs lose their meaning Keep the compass in your chest Keep the reason you were leaving [Final Chorus] Fiona, take the long way home Leave a little room for changing plans If the morning finds you far from known You can build a life with open hands Fiona, wherever you roam There’s a door that knows your name Fiona, wherever you roam You will find your way again [Outro] Fold the map and let it rest Tomorrow has another west
