Long Way Home

All of us together were moving so fast
could hardly find our way
suddenly we turn around and there's the past
to draw us back again
but it's a long way home
it's a long way back there
it's a long way home
it's a long way

we've know each other years and years but still I find
I do not know you well
bound in time and family but still undone
by what we cannot tell
and it's a long way home
it's a long way back there
it's a long way home
it's a long way

who knows where the time has gone
it passed by so quickly
or how we grew up all alone
surrounded by the ones we thought we'd known
never saw the path that we were on

if I could take a walk back now through all those years
I'd probably decline
memory is sweeter and far kinder than
the truth I think I'd find there
and it's a long way home
it's a long way back there
it's a long way home
it's a long way
it's a long way
it's a long way
