The Long Way Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the sink A small reminder not to rush I watched the kettle lose its steam And let the quiet say enough [Chorus] We can take the long way home Past the fields and county lines Let the afternoon unfold One easy mile at a time You don’t have to find the words I can read them in your eyes We can take the long way home And leave the hurry far behind [Verse 2] The old road bends beside the mill A red barn leans against the hill You point out where the creek runs wide I pull the window down a while [Chorus] We can take the long way home Past the fields and county lines Let the afternoon unfold One easy mile at a time You don’t have to find the words I can read them in your eyes We can take the long way home And leave the hurry far behind [Bridge] If tomorrow asks us where we’ve been We’ll say nowhere special, just us again [Final Chorus] We can take the long way home Past the fields and county lines Let the afternoon unfold One easy mile at a time You don’t have to find the words I can read them in your eyes We can take the long way home And leave the hurry far behind [Outro] The long way home Just you and I
