Reflecting back on childhood memories. Of a world so large and filled with undiscovered treasures. Of time that stretched out to eternity and days that seemed like they would never end. Memories of the lazy walk home from school, through fields of golden grass. Taking the long way home. 5:35

[VERSE 1]

All through the water channels,
   down where the moss is growin'.
Barefoot I wade in water.
   Takin' the long way home.

[VERSE 2]

All through the hills and valleys,
   grass as golden as the sun.
Bathed in Cicada summer,
   Takin' the long way home.

[CHORUS 1]

Takin' the long way home.
   Takin' the long way home.
Takin' the long way home.
   Takin' the long way home.

[VERSE 3]

Sword cutting through the thistles,
   harvesting the ripened seeds.
King of an unowned kingdom,
   Takin' the long way home.

[BRIDGE]

Lost in forever,
   will leave it never.
Lost in forever,
   will leave it never.

[VERSE 4]

Hunt for the hidden treasures,
   find a rusty bullet shell.
Haunt the abandoned houses,
   Takin' the long way home.

[CHORUS 2]

Takin' the long way home.
   Takin' the long way home.
Takin' the long way home.
   Out 'cross the fields alone.
Takin' the long way home.
   Lost in a world, my own.

[FADE OUT (bridge and chorus superimposed)]

Lost in forever,
   will leave it never.
Lost in forever,
