Long Way Round

Trevor Moss - Long Way Round

HE ALWAYS COULD FINE SOMETHING CLEVER TO SAY

AND NEVER LET THE NOTION STAND IN THE WAY

OF SOMETHING CLEVER TO SAY.

AND OPPORTUNITIES FELL LIKE AUTUMN LEAVES

HOW HE LOVED THE SOUND OF KICKING AROUND

THE AVENUES IN THE BREEZE.

I'M SUCH A LONG WAY FROM THE EDGE

I'M GONNA GET HOME,

LET GO THE THINGS I SHOULD HAVE DONE AND SAID.

I'M NOW WALKING ON AIR

I'M COMING UP STRONG

BEEN THE LONG WAY ROUND

THE SUN'S COMING UP BUT WE'RE STILL GETTING DOWN

BEEN THE LONG WAY ROUND

WANTED TO BECOME A PAINTER SO BOUGHT A BERET

THEN A FREEDOM FIGHTER BUT COULDN'T FIND HIS OLD PAINTING BERET

WANTED TO BECOME A WRITER BUT HAD NOTHING TO SAY

WANTED TO BECOME A LOVER BUT LOVE IS A GAME IT TAKES TWO TO PLAY

I'M SUCH A LONG WAY FROM THE EDGE

I'M GONNA GET HOME,

LET GO THE THINGS I SHOULD HAVE DONE AND SAID.

NOW I'M WALKING ON AIR

I'M COMING UP STRONG

BEEN THE LONG WAY ROUND

THE SUN'S COMING UP BUT WE'RE STILL GETTING DOWN

BEEN THE LONG WAY ROUND

I'M WALKING ON AIR

I'M COMING UP STRONG

BEEN THE LONG WAY ROUND

THE SUN'S COMING UP BUT WE'RE STILL GETTING DOWN

BEEN THE LONG WAY ROUND
