So my love there's an opening Where the road cuts across the plains And scales the mountain's back And one side meets the other There's a flood burning in the hills And smoke throughout the sky Circling the west Circling the long way home We all draw A curving line We follow just to find Where it leads (I'm. on. the long way home) Circling I'm just on The long way home (I'm. on. the long way home) And my love there's a rolling space Your wheels push the ground for days A mile above the sea And I wish that you were sitting here As the clock wears down the hills A second at a time One second at a time We all draw A curving line We follow just to find Where it leads (I'm. on. the long way home) And I'm circling On The long way home (I'm. on. the long way home) The long way I-5 Pacific on the left Where your eyes squint away the sun And I'm just a bag of bones Circling the long way home The long way home My love
