I've been looking for evergreen,
Through the highs and the lows
A hillside that's rarely seen, but they say it glows
Turning the world around, one step at a time
Wide eyed with jealousy and deaf dumb and blind
I took the long way round
I took the long way round
Looking for someone to talk to,
Someone to help me along
In the spring I went South, looking for love
Whether with or without, well it wasn't enough
So I sang and I threw, my soul out to sea
Yeah I played until I dropped and cried in my sleep
I took the long way round
I took the long way round
Looking for someone to talk to, someone to help me along
I took the long way round
I took the long way round
Looking for someone to talk to, someone to help me along
In the quiet of my reverie, a light is shining through
No I don't got time to make believe, a darker dream of you
I took the long way round
I took the long way round
Looking for someone to talk to, someone to help me along
I took the long way round
I took the long way round
Looking for someone to talk to, someone to help me along
Me along
I just want to find myself somebody, to help me along.
